Secord’s Warning Lyrics by Tanglefoot

Captured Alive

0

[Spoken] So here they are:
The fantastic!
The wonderful!
Tanglefoot!
Everybody!

Come all you brave young soldier lads with your strong and manly bearing
I'll tell you a tale of a woman bold and her deed of honest daring
Laura Secord was American born in the state of Massachusettes
But she made her home in Canada and proved so faithful to us

There's American guns and 500 men so the warning must be given
And Laura Ingersoll Secord was a stalwart heart to brave the heat and the flies and the swamp to warn Colonel FitzGibbon

There's soldiers pounding at the door and they come from across the border
American officers march inside, it's food and drink they've ordered
In comfort they have dined and drunk their own success they've toasted
But they pay no heed to the woman who hears their plan, so idly boasted

There's American guns and 500 men so the warning must be given
And Laura Ingersoll Secord was a stalwart heart to brave the heat and the flies and the swamp to warn Colonel FitzGibbon

Oh James I've overheard it all a surprise attack they're making
FitzGibbon they intend to smash, his men for prisoners taking
And James a warning never you'll take with your wounded knee and shoulder
I myself must carry it past the sentries and the soldiers

There's American guns and 500 men so the warning must be given
And Laura Ingersoll Secord was a stalwart heart to brave the heat and the flies and the swamp to warn Colonel FitzGibbon

It's an all-day tramp to the British camp by way of Shipman's Corners
There's snakes and flies and sweat in her eyes, there is no respite for her
She's lost her shoes in the muck of the bog, her feet are torn and blistered
But there's many a soldier lad to be spared of the message they've delivered

There's American guns and 500 men so the warning must be given
And Laura Ingersoll Secord was a stalwart heart to brave the heat and the flies and the swamp to warn Colonel FitzGibbon

So all you Yankee soldier lads who dare to cross our border
Thinking to save us from ourselves, usurping british order
There's women and men, Canadians all of every rank and station
To stand on guard and keep us free from Yankee domination
(Woo!)

There's American guns and 500 men so the warning must be given
And Laura Ingersoll Secord was a stalwart heart to brave the heat and the flies and the swamp to warn Colonel FitzGibbon

And Laura Ingersoll Secord was a stalwart heart to
Brave
The heat
And the flies
And the swamp
To
Warn
