Written by Joseph Kilna MacKenzie in memory of his great-grandfather, Charles Stuart MacKenzie of the Seaforth Highlanders (Moray, Scotland). He was killed in action in World War I. The couplet that speaks of falling to a German's gun is often omitted so that the song remains pertinent to other conflicts.

EnglishTranslation

Sgt (Sergeant) MacKenzie

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 will 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...
