ted egan - john flynn lyrics
[intro]
a stockman named jimmy darcy had a bad accident at halls creek
outback western australia
there was no doctor
a telegraphist sent a morse code message to perth
2000 kilometres away
the doctor’s morse code reply enabled jimmy darcy’s mates to operate on him
the operation was a success
but jimmy darcy died of other complications
the reverend john flynn heard the story
and determined to start the royal flying doctor service
[verse 1]
i guess it was the death of jimmy darcy
that prompted the decision to provide
a mantle of safety for the outback
and it took a man like john flynn to decide
that the people of the bush deserved a better life
the furthest boundary rider, a lonely drover’s wife
deserved to be protected, kept in touch, given a go
it took a man like flynn to make it so
[chorus]
he was john flynn
what a mighty man
his vision for the outback
a truly wonderful plan
he was john flynn
what a mighty man
his vision for the outback
a truly wonderful plan
[verse 2]
flynn mustered his supporters all around him
and slowly to fruition came the plan
simpson, traeger, barber, his dear mate hugh mackay
and hudson fysh, they were loyal to a man
aeroplanes and wireless would span this big brown land
to reach the furthest outback family, the injured station hand
medicine for the bushies, a model for the world
the flying doctor’s banner was unfurled
[chorus]
and he was john flynn
what a mighty man
his vision for the outback
a truly wonderful plan
he was john flynn
what a mighty man
his vision for the outback
a truly wonderful plan
[verse 3]
so rest easy in your grave now jimmy darcy
in the knowledge that your death was not in vain
the flying doctor service is a goer
to handle all the suffering and the pain
the people of the bush now have a better life
the furthest boundary rider, the lonely drover’s wife
the people of the bush, kept in touch, given a go
it took a man like flynn to make it so
[chorus]
yes, he was john flynn
what a mighty man
his vision for the outback
a truly wonderful plan
he was john flynn
what a mighty man
his vision for the outback
a truly wonderful plan
yes, he was john flynn
what a mighty man
his vision for the outback
a truly wonderful plan
he was john flynn
what a mighty man
his vision for the outback
a truly wonderful plan
yes, he was john flynn
what a mighty man
his vision for the outback
a truly wonderful plan
he was john flynn
what a mighty man
his vision for the outback
a truly wonderful plan
