Artist/Band: Stompin Tom Connors
Lyrics for Song: Tillsonburg
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Stompin Tom Connors



Hey Tom, You ever been to Tillsonburg?

Tillsonburg? My back still aches when I hear that word

While, a way down Southern Ontario

I never had a nickle or a dime to show

A fella beeped up in an automobile

He said "You'll want to work in the Tobacco field's of



Tillsonburg (Tillsonburg) x2

My back still aches when I hear that word



He said I'll only give ya seven bucks a day

But if you're any good you'll get a raise in pay

Your beds already on the bunkhouse floor

If it gets a little chilly ya can close the door



Tillsonburg (Tillsonburg)

It was Tillsonburg (Tillsonburg)

My back still aches when I hear that word



I was feelin' in the morning anything but fine

The farmer said I'm gonna teach ya how to brame

He said ya gotta dawn a pair of oil skin pants

If ya want to work in the Tobacco plants of



Tillsonburg (Tillsonburg) x2

My back still aches when I hear that word



We landed in a field that was long and wide

With one ol' horse and five more guys

I asked them where to find the cigarette trees

When he said bend over I was ready to leave



Tillsonburg (Tillsonburg) x2

My back still aches when I hear that word



He said just to pick the bottom leaves

And don't start crawling on your hands and knees

Prime your load cause you'll get no pay

For standin' there pickin' at your nose all day 'round



Tillsonburg (Tillsonburg) x2

My back still aches when I hear that word



With a broken back bendin' over there

I was wet right through to the underwear

And it was stuck to my skin like glue

From the nicotine tar on the morning dew of



Tillsonburg (Tillsonburg) x2

My back still aches when I hear that word



Now the nearest river was two miles from

The place where they was waitin' for the boat to come

When I heard some talk of makin' the kill

I was down the highway and over the hill from



Tillsonburg (Tillsonburg) x2

My back still aches when I hear that word



Now there is one thing you can always bet

If I never smoke another cigarette

I might get taken in alot of deals

But I won't go workin' the tobacco fields of



Tillsonburg (Tillsonburg) x2

My back still aches when I hear that word



My back still aches when I hear that word(x4)
