Whereof Tom Campbell took and wrote
A ghastly song about a Boat?
O no! O no! Because, you see,
His Father-Land must greater be.
What is the Briton’s Father-Land?
Is it the brave Canadian strand
Whereof Tom Moore he took and wrote
A pleasing song about a Boat?
O no! O no! Because, you see,
His Father-Land must greater be.
