Tim Hus

Man With the Black Hat

Here's a song about a man I think you all know
He plays a Canadian country music show
A man of the land from East to West
He wears a red maple leaf pinned to his vest
From P.E.I. where the potatoes grow
To the tobacco fields of Ontario
Saturday night in Sudbury town
And how the bridge came tumbling down

Chorus:
With the sawdust flying, oh my Lord
He stomps his boot on the stomping board
He sings about Canada, he sings it like that
And he always wears a big black cowboy hat

Born in St. John, New Brunswick
Life was tough and he grew up quick
At fifteen he hit the road for good
Hitch-hiking with his buddy Steve Foote
Down the highway with an old guitar
Riding the freight train on a cattle car
Singing songs of the people and the places found
And he called them all 'My Stompin' Grounds'

Chorus

Thirteen years down the road
He blew into Timmins, Ontario
Busted and broke, not feelin' too well
He got a job singing at the Maple Leaf Hotel
Soon his voice was on the radio
And he was playing the Horseshoe down in Toronto
He became a star, one of a kind
Through the mountain and the prairies
And the Maritimes

Chorus

He told of the people in the songs he wrote
In the mines, and the farms, and the camps, and the coal boats
Red River Jane and the Moon Man Newfie
Big Joe Mufferaw and Muk Tuk Annie
He stood up tall and he made a stand
And said 'Im' proud to be Canadian'
So here's to Bud the Spud and The Hockey Song
And here's to you Stompin' Tom

Chorus
