The Man Who Fights The Fire 1908

The summer sun is beaming
the trees are all in bloom
and happiness surrounds the cosy home.
With children 'round a playing
there isn't room for gloom.
The faithful father little cares to roam,
He's always light and gay
until duty calls him 'way
and as the shades of night begin to fall,
He leaves them with a sigh
he goes perhaps to die,
yet staunch and true
he answers duty's call.

He's the man who fights the smoke,
the flames and fire.
No braver man the country ever knew,
when danger's near,
he knows no fear,
he'll die to rescue you.
In the thickest of the fray
you'll find him dashing,
and in his heart there's only one desire,
It's to fight with all his might
for the cause he knows is right,
He's the man who fights the smoke,
the flames and fire.

The fire bells are ringing
the skies are all aglow,
the time to face the frantic foe is nigh.
The winter winds are singing
as off to fight they go,
the fire chiefs commands are heard on high,
With ladder and with hose
each hero bravely goes
to face a foe that fears no human hand.
But he is fearless too
and when the battle's through,
the victory he's won is mighty grand.

He's the man who fights the smoke,
the flames and fire.
No braver man the country ever knew,
when danger's near,
he knows no fear,
he'll die to rescue you.
In the thickest of the fray
you'll find him dashing,
and in his heart there's only one desire,
It's to fight with all his might
for the cause he knows is right,
He's the man who fights the smoke,
the flames and fire.
