Canadians in the Korean war

Words by Harper John ....written in a few hours ....then a "press the button and go... one take job" by the duo SLOE as presented here. Tune ... Black Velvet done with a blues bent. For Canuck Korean War veterans 2011 is the Last Hurrah ....and fittingly also for North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.

Words:
Johnny Canuck, back in the 50s
Earned his wings in the Korean Skies.
All hooched up on his bootleg whisky,
Black Velvet ... keep my fly boy alive.

The way he flew it was a sin to St. Jude
Always diving more ... heaven to the floor.

Black Velvet in that little boy smile
Black Velvet in that old Quebec style.
A new religion to bring you to your knees,
Black Velvet, if you please.

Up in Seoul he's burning like a heat wave
Rye lightening bound to drive you wild.
Mama's baby in the heart of every bar girl
Mama San she tries to stop the child.

The way he moved it was a sin... to St. Jude.
Always fall in love, just a fool for love.

Black Velvet in that little boy smile
Black Velvet with that old Quebec style.
A new religion to bring you to your knees,
Black Velvet, if you please.

Every word of every hymn he knew was for you.
In a flash he was gone, happened so soon
What could we even do?
