Walkerton

In May of the 2000th year
The rain fell hard on the people here
Something got in the overflow
In Walkerton Ontario

Big government trying to save a buck
While our little town ran outta luck
You can smell the greed you can taste the blood
Which everyone knows the colour of

In Walkerton Ontario we buried them in the winter snow
Please stay away bloody waters flow in Walkerton Ontario

Stan Cables was the hired man and the government had a business plan
Send the water out to the private lab but no one knew the news they had
Until the day the word got out from the officer of the Public Health
So horrified was everyone to hear of what had not been done
That all the town drew back in fear and no one could hold back the tears

In Walkerton Ontario we buried them in the winter snow
Please stay away bloody waters flow in Walkerton Ontario

You can put the blame on the province head
for the many sick and the seven dead
But no man broke any law for the killer struck and no one saw
Invisible ecoli the murderer accompliced by
Our ignorance we demonstrate when politics puts lives at stake
And little things become big mistakes when the water has the will to take
To take away the ones we love yes it’s them we must be thinking of

In Walkerton they lie below
We buried them in the winters’ snow
Please come around
we need you so
In Walkerton Ontario
