Sgt MacKenzie - Remember

"Sgt. MacKenzie" is a lament written and sung by Joseph Kilna MacKenzie in memory of his great-grandfather, Charles Stuart MacKenzie, a sergeant in the Seaforth Highlanders

English-
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone

When they come I will stand my ground
Stand my ground I'll not be afraid

Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears

Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me

Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a German's gun

Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Where before many more have gone



I made this video one night after watching We Were Soldiers. I guess it gave me some inspiration. Thanks for all the comments and enjoy watching.
