  Tillsonburg

  Stompin=B9 Tom Connors

  

  While a[D]way down in southern On[A7]tario,

  I never had a nickel or a [D]dime to show,

  A fellow beeped up in an [A7]automobile,

  He said, "Ya wanna work in the to[D]bacco fields of...

  

  Chorus:

  [G]Tillsonburg (Tillsonburg), [D]Tillsonburg (Tillsonburg),

  My [A7]back still aches when I [G]hear that [D]word.

  

  He said, "I=B9ll only give ya seven [A7]bucks a day,

  And if you=B9re any good you=B9ll get a [D]raise in pay,

  Your bed=B9s already on the [A7]bunkhouse floor,

  If it gets a little chilly you can [D]close the door.=B2

  

  Chorus

  

  I was feelin=B9 in the morning any[A7]thing but fine,

  The farmer said, "I=B9m gonna teach you [D]how to 'prime'."

  He said, "You gotta don a pair of [A7]oilskin pants,

  If you wanna work in the to[D]bacco plants of...

  

  Chorus

  

  We landed in a field that was [A7]long and wide,

  With one old horse and [D]five more guys,

  I asked him where to find the [A7]cigarette trees,

  When he said, "Bend over," I was [D]ready to leave...

  

  Chorus

  

  He said to pick just the [A7]bottom leaves,

  And don=B9t start crawlin=B9 on your [D]hands and knees,

  Prime your row 'cause you=B9ll [A7]get no pay,

  For standin=B9 there pickin=B9 at your [D]nose all day =8Cround...

  

  Chorus

  

  With a broken back bendin' [A7]over there,

  I was wet right through to the [D]underwear,

  And it was stuck to my [A7]skin like glue,

  >From the nicotine tar and the [D]morning dew of...

  

  Chorus

  

  Now, the nearest river was [A7]two miles from,

  The place they were waitin=B9 for the [D]boat to come,

  When I heard some talk about [A7]makin=B9 the kill,

  I was down the highway and [D]over the hill from=8A

  

  Chorus

  

  Now there=B9s one thing you can [A7]always bet,

  If I never smoke another [D]cigarette,

  I might get taken in a [A7]lot of deals,

  But I won=B9t go work in the to[D]bacco fields of...

  

  Chorus  (repeat last line to fade)
