Upon the heights of Queenston one dark october day
Invading foes were marshalled in battle's dread array
Brave Brock looked up the rugged steep and planned a bold attack
No foreign flag shall float said he
Above the Union jack
His loyal hearted soldiers were ready everyone
Their foes were thrice their number but duty must be done
They started up the fire-swept hill with loud resounding cheers
While Brock's inspiring voice rang out
Push on York volunteers
But soon a fatal bullet pierced through his manly breast
And loving friends to help him around that hero pressed
Push on said he don't mind me and err the set of sun
Canadians held the rugged steep
The victory was won
Each true Canadian soldier laments the death of Brock
His country told it's sorrow in monumental rock
And if a foe should err invade our land in future years
His dying words shall guide us still
Push on brave volunteers
