The cry from Toronto, from Montréal, 'Cross Canada, unions rallied to the call, The Mackenzie–Papineau Brigade! To France, to Spain, 'cross the Pyrenees, Some try by boat and are blown out of the sea, The Mackenzie–Papineau Brigade! English is our tongue, Ici on parle français, United here in Spain, "¡No Pasarán!" we say, The Mackenzie–Papineau Brigade! Fighting at Jarama and Aragon, Before the killing's through, nearly half of them are gone, The Mackenzie–Papineau Brigade! On the battlefields, 'neath the Spanish moon, Comes drivin' out to heal us, our medic Doc Bethune, The Mackenzie–Papineau Brigade! English is our tongue, Ici on parle français, United here in Spain, "¡No Pasarán!" We say, The Mackenzie–Papineau Brigade! Survivors sail back to Canadian lands, Their own government persecutes this brave and loyal band, The Mackenzie–Papineau Brigade! So, let us sing the praise of these worthy volunteers, May their names be remembered over all the years, Long live the Mackenzie–Papineau Brigade! Long live the Mackenzie–Papineau Brigade! -- Lyrics --
