There comes a mighty Mantioba man.
He left his home in Carberry for Edmonton,

soon became a man.
Now Orville and Wilbur Wright

And every night he dreamt

about their names,
And when for men there came

He played the old Red Baron for a clown,
E
Until the German chased him all around.
Loop for loop and dive for dive,
The Baron was so occupied,
He never saw the plane

Of all the German planes
that ever flew,

The Wop had shot a dozen or more in two.
And when they finally won the war,
Said the British Flying Corps,

The Flying Cross we now present to you.

When home again to
Edmonton he came,
E
He set the hearts all over the land aflame,
To Fort Vermillion he was bound,
To stop the plague and save the town,

With medicine he flew in by aero plane.
Then up along the old McKenzie Trail,
E
To Aquevic he flew the Northern Mail,
And when he helped the
Mounties track,
The man they thought
they'd never catch,
Why even the King of England
A
heard the tales.

Now when the second war it did arrive,

From 1939 to '45,
He told the pilots everyone the proper

And he taught them how to

And when the States were

Far across the Northlands ter rain,
They all came out from Washington
to see the man from Edmonton

Form the famous search and rescue team.
