Bill assists PM Diefenbaker off the stage |
Oh the great western plains Have a story to tell From the North West Rebellion To the fate of Riel But the one we tell now Of a much different quest That of John Diefenbaker From out of the West From the boy in Prince Albert
Now he tells his own story
|
Now with Dief it was action He went out on the street And he dug up the Tories A long time asleep Yes, he walked with his friends Oh the plain common man And they cried Diefenbaker All over the land He abolished the Arrow
He would stand all alone
Now he's free from the reins
