Andre is impressed by the Leeds-Liverpool canal. "Construction of this canal started in 1770, when I was 20 years old."

Now Arnold to New York has gone, A-fighting for his King, And left poor Major Andre On the gallows for to swing. Andre was executed, He looked both meek and mile, His face was fair and handsome, And pleasantly he smiled. It moved each eye with pity, And every heart there bled, And everyone wished him released And Arnold in his stead. He was a man of honor! In Britain he was born, To die upon the gallows Most highly he did scorn. And now his life has reached its end So young and blooming still— In Tappan's quiet countryside He sleeps upon the hill.
