DESCRIPTION:
This is perhaps the best known old Canadian military tune. There is a "clean" version by Stompin Tom Connors but this is the only version that most closely matches the lyrics we sang when I was in the Air Force. MacLean & MacLean has this on their Toilet Rock album. They were Maritimers that were popular at the Toronto clubs The Chimney & El Mocambo during the late 1970's & early 1980's, when I was with the Air Reserve at Downsview.
