Tommy Prince
Tommy Prince was born a native from Sault Ste Marie
He was the great, great grandson of the Saulteax Chief.
Three times he tried to join the army; three times they turn him down
Till they final enlisted, the greatest warrior of our time.
He learn the ways of the Brokenhead, Objibway Nation
How to scout, track, shoot and how to become a man.
He joined an elite allied force, a special assault team
Germanys learn to fear them and called them Devils Brigade
Chorus
