John Kane
John Kane, he was my brother
He was on his way back home
Killed by a man
A wheel in his hand
Going down the wrong side
Of the road
Na.................
John Kane, he was our brother
The brightest light on our lives
When his life was snuffed out
We fumbled through the dark
Trying to find our way
Back to the road
Na.................
John Kane, he was a brother
With his friends from South Africa
Marching side by side
Against Apartheid
In London back in 1959
Na.................
John Kane and is friend
George McPherson
Were killed by a man who was drunk
He came flying across a hill
Near Guelph Ontario
He was going down
The wrong side of the road
