My Stompin' Grounds
Stompin Tom Connors · Other Songs - Stompin Tom Connors
From the East coast to the west
And I've been asked about a thousand times
What places I like best
Well I've had to base my answers
On the friendly people I've found
And if you're inclined to take the time
This is where you'll find my stompin' grounds
Just take a little piece of P.E.I & old Saskatchewan
Nova Scotia & New Brunswick, we're back in Newfoundland
Alberta & Manitoba
Ontario & B.C
And you'll have found the stompin' grounds of all my friends & me
And you'll have found the stompin' grounds of all my friends & me
Now there was a time with a buddy of mine
When a frieght train was our load
And we found people in this here land that would help a guy along the road
Some of them lived in the country
And others lived in town
But these are the people that made me proud
To say this is my Stompin' Ground
Just take a little piece of P.E.I & old Saskatchewan
Nova Scotia & New Brunswick, we're back in Newfoundland
Alberta & Manitoba
Ontario & B.C
And you'll have found the stompin' grounds of all my friends & me
And you'll have found the stompin' grounds of all my friends & me
And now you've heard my answer
It's one I hope you'll understand
It's just my way of kinda sayin' Thank You to the people of this land
And it doesn't matter really where you're from
Ya can spread the word around
For where ever you find a heart that's kind
You're in a part of my stompin' ground
Just take a little piece of P.E.I & old Saskatchewan
Nova Scotia & New Brunswick, we're back in Newfoundland
Alberta & Manitoba
Ontario & B.C
And you'll have found the stompin' grounds of all my friends & me
And you'll have found the stompin' grounds of all my friends & me
Just take a little piece of P.E.I & old Saskatchewan
Nova Scotia & New Brunswick, we're back in Newfoundland
Alberta & Manitoba (fades out)
