Titled "Hanks Centennial Travels"

This song I first heard during the Expo 67 song contest here in Canada. The song that won was: "Canada, We Love You" and so on. However, the song that I was pulling for was the above and some of the verses went like this.

I roamed this wide country boy both near and far,
Where ever i travel I take my guitar.
From the coast of Vancouver I looked all around,
Watched them play football in Edmonton town.


Another verse was;

In old Montreal I arrived one bright morn,
Not very far boy from where I was born.
I watched them play hockey not so long ago,
I shook the hand of Big Jean Béliveau.


There are many more verses and they cover all the province of Canada.

There is very little information on the Internet about this singer-songwriter, but I did find out that he was known as Henri LaRivière, Hank LaRivière, and Hank Rivers. Here is a brief biography.

Thanks Jim for giving it a shot. I did find that bio as well.       Interesting. But that is also as far as I got.

Sorry about the repeat posts, but something seemed effed-up and the first four times I tried to post before the blank post, nothing took.
