To prove we've not forgotten
How you helped us in the past.
You helped us win our battle
When England taxed our tea.
Your soldiers never rested
Till the colonies were free.
And now you won't regret it,
For our efforts shall not cease
Until France has won her victory
And we see the dawn of peace.

them and today they are prairie.
