It was on September the eighteenth day
In spite of the salt seas' dashing spray
We landed safe in the Creemah bay,
Upon our road to Alma.
Hey, Menschikoff, are ye waukin' yet?
Sebastapol bells are ye ringin' yet?
Gin ye were waukin' I wad wait,
And meet ye on the banks o' Alma.
(Actual battle 9/20/1854) Greig-Duncan, #158, "The Battle of Alma."
