Tillsonburg
Ê
(A)Tillsonburg,
My (E)back still aches when I hear that (A)word,
While way down in southern On(E)tario,
I never had a nickel or a (A)dime to show,
A fella beeped up in a (E)automobile,
Said you wanna work in the to(A)bacco fields,
Of (D)Tillsonburg, (A)Tillsonburg,
My (E)back still aches when I hear that (A)word,
Ê
He said I'll only give ya seven (E)bucks a day,
And if your any good you get a (A)raise in pay,
Your beds all ready on the (E)bunk house floor,
If it gets a little chilly you can (A)close the door,
(D)Tillsonburg, (A)Tillsonburg,
My (E)back still aches when I hear that (A)word,
Ê
I was feelin' in the mornin' any(E)thing but fine,
The farmer said I'm gonna teach ya (A)how da prime,
He says you gotta don a pair of (E)oil skin pants,
If you wanna work in those to(A)bacco plants,
Of (D)Tillsonburg, (A)Tillsonburg,
My (E)back still aches when I hear that (A)word,
Ê
We landed in a field that was (E)long and wide,
With one old horse and (A)five more guys,
I asked him where to find the (E)cigarette trees,
When he said bend over I was (A)ready to leave,
(D)Tillsonburg, (A)Tillsonburg,
My (E)back still aches when I hear that (A)word,
Ê
Ê
Ê
He said just to pick the (E)bottom leaves,
And don't start crawlin' on your (A)hands and knees,
Prime your row 'cause you'll (E)get no pay,
For standin' there pickin' at your (A)nose all day,
'Round (D)Tillsonburg, (A)Tillsonburg,
My (E)back still aches when I hear that (A)word,
Ê
With a broken back bendin' (E)over there,
I was wet right through to the (A)underwear,
And it was stuck to my (E)skin like glue,
From the nicotine tar and the (A)mornin' dew,
Of (D)Tillsonburg, (A)Tillsonburg,
My (E)back still aches when I hear that (A)word,
Ê
Now the nearest river was (E)two miles from,
The place they were waitin' for the (A)boat to come,
When I heard some talk about (E)makin' the kill,
I was down the highway and (A)over the hill,
From (D)Tillsonburg, (A)Tillsonburg,
My (E)back still aches when I hear that (A)word,
Ê
Now there's one thing you can (E)always bet,
If I never smoke another (A)cigarette,
I might get taken in a (E)lot of deals,
But I won't go work in them to(A)bacco fields,
Of (D)Tillsonburg, (A)Tillsonburg,
My (E)back still aches when I hear that (A)word.
