Rock'n'roll & Jargon? April Wine's "Kick Willy Road"

[Dave Robertson]

My friends, this is Saturday stuff.  Not very serious.  But I do want to
know:  Did the Canadian rock band April Wine's song "Kick Willy Road"
intentionally refer to the Chinook Jargon?  Here are the lyrics: --  Dave

Kick Willy Rd.

                      I don't believe the things I'm told
                      What's goin' down on Kick Willy Rd.
                      They got gang attacks, and some hard cold steel
                      On the back of my neck, from the way that I feel

                      I've been a bad boy, maybe once or twice
                      I got drunk and shot a little dice
                      But it's alright, comin' from the country
                      I can learn the city ways, yeah baby
                      And sometimes you know I really feel that way, yeah
baby
                      And they say the fightin' helps them feel OK
                      But it's the country life I choose, forget the city
blues
                      Baby I should try and get away

                      And here they come on a Friday night
                      You got two gangs lookin' for a fight
                      You got the Hubley boys and the Parnels too
                      It's the way that they live, the things that they do

                      I been a bad boy, maybe once or twice
                      I got drunk and shot a little dice
                      But it's alright, comin' from the country
                      I can learn the city ways, yeah baby
                      And sometimes you know I really feel that way, yeah
                      And they say that fightin' helps you feel OK
                      But it's the country life I choose, forget the city
blues
                      Baby I should try and get away
                      Take me to the country

                      Fist fight, seem to have left someone
                      My my, wasn't that a good one
                      Too much, that boy done alright
                      You know sometimes I start to feel that way, yeah baby
                      And they say that fightin' helps you feel OK, yeah
yeah
                      You know sometimes I really feel that way, baby baby
                      And they say that fightin' helps them feel OK, yeah
yeah
                      Oooh, yeah yeah yeah
                      Oooh, yeah baby
                      You know sometimes I really feel that way, yeah yeah
                      You know sometimes I really feel that way, baby
                      You know sometimes I really feel that way, yeah baby
