Lyrics from the 1975 album National Melodies:

In Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-seven,
When you were just a kid in school,
And Cassius Clay was an amateur,
Hustlin' down in Louisville,
Dief come out of Prince Albert,
And he said he was a man with a dream,
Now in seventy-four Clay's the champ once more,
And I know Dief will be the Chief again.

Dief is the Chief, Dief is the Chief,
Dief will be the Chief again.
Everybody's happy back in Fifty-seven,
And nobody's happy since then.
There was law in the land,   order in the home,
Swimmin' in the river back then,
But I know in my heart that Dief will be the Chief,
And a dollar worth a dollar again.

Well he lost in 25 and he lost in 26 and 29,
But he never lost heart.
He lost in 33 and he lost in 38,
And the Forties was mostly dark.
But in Fifty-three he married Olive,
And together they ruled the land,
And with Olive by his side,
The queen of his heart,
Dief will be the Chief again

Dief is the Chief, Dief is the Chief,
Dief will be the Chief again.
Everybody's happy back in Fifty-seven,
And nobody's happy since then.
There was law in the land, order in the home,
Swimmin' in the river back then,
But I know in my heart that Dief will be the Chief,
And a dollar worth a dollar again.

Now we got a man up in Ottawa,
He got cold water in his veins.
You know that he don't give a shit about you.
And he don't hear when you complain.
But Dief come out of Prince Albert,
He was raised in the prairie grain,
And he always had a hand for the working man,
Dief will be the Chief again.

Dief is the Chief, Dief is the Chief,
Dief will be the Chief again.
Everybody's happy back in Fifty-seven,
And nobody's happy since then.
There's a famine in the land, mortgage on the home,
Strikes without any end,
But I know in my heart that Dief will be the Chief,
And a dollar worth a dollar again.

He's Chief Walking Buffalo to the People of the Sioux,
Honorary Chief Eagle to the Cree.
He's a customary Colonel of the Saskatoons,
And a personal acquaintance of the Queen.
He's a Baptist and a Kinsman, and Kiwanis man too,
And he's eighty on September 18,
And he always had a hand for the working man.
Dief will be the Chief again.
