IN HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA 1917

Two ships collided in Halifax harbour,

The Mont Blanc and the Imo,

It was December 1917

And what the Nova Scotian’s didn’t know

Was the French ship was laden with explosives

And as it sailed the straight from the sea

It struck the Norwegian vessel

Causing it to explode cataclysmically

Many Canadians were killed

In Halifax Nova Scotia 1917

After the largest man-made explosion

The world had ever seen

WHEN KITCHENER CALLED

When they hear the recruiter’s call And they take the King’s shilling They’re trained and uniformed And marched towards the killing
