Ballad of Wop May

(Verse 1) Born in Edmonton, the land of the North, Wop May took flight, his wings soared forth. In the Great War's fury, he faced his test, Against the Red Baron, he proved his best. With courage ablaze, in the skies so wild, He danced with death, like a daring child. Through the clouds of battle, he flew with grace, Wop May, the ace, in his destined place. Through storms and blizzards, he pressed on strong, Guided by duty, against all wrong. In the face of danger, he never bowed, Wop May, the hero, above the cloud. (Chorus) Oh, Wop May, in the sky you reign, Your spirit unbound, it shall remain. From Edmonton's streets to the fields of war, Your legend soars forevermore. (Bridge) Through bush and tundra, he blazed his trail, A pioneer's heart, he couldn't fail. From surveying skies to ambulance flight, Wop May's wings spread hope in darkest night. (Guitar Solo) (Chorus 2) In the annals of flight, his name shall gleam, A Canadian legend, in history's stream. With each daring flight, his legacy grows, Wop May, the aviator, forever in prose. (Chorus) Oh, Wop May, in the sky you reign, Your spirit unbound, it shall remain. From Edmonton's streets to the fields of war, Your legend soars forevermore.
