Stompin' Tom Connors - Don Messer Story Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • He was born in ol' New Brunswick
  • In the early part of May 1909
  • Six years old he played the fiddle
  • At the barn dance on the old York County line
  • Every year Don got better
  • He dreamed about that fortune down the track
  • Then he came down To Saint John city
  • Where he formed the Old New Brunswick Lumberjacks
  • Don Messer played rings around the mountain
  • He played reels all across the plaines
  • He played all that kind of music
  • That has made the country proud to say his name
  • Soon his band would have a singer
  • Charlie Chamberlain would join the Messer fleet
  • And travel to Prince Edward Island
  • To play on radio for twelve bucks everyweek
  • On the air right after supper
  • Commencing in the year of '39
  • The man would say
  • It's Old Don Messer & the Islanders form down the Maritimes
  • Don Messer played rings around the mountain
  • He played reels all across the plaines
  • He played all that kind of music
  • That has made the country proud to say his name
  • Coast to coast with Don & Charlie
  • Duke Neilson, Ray Simmonds played it up
  • Born to Gray with Sea Speackrin
  • Now the Islanders went touring to the top
  • How Charlie sang with Margret Osbourn
  • And Waldo made the old piano twang
  • For the Queen they played in concert
  • And it was magic how Don Messer's fiddle rang
  • Don Messer played rings around the mountain
  • He played reels all across the plaines
  • He played all that kind of music
  • That has made the country proud to say his name
  • Seventeen years on television
  • From 1956 to '73
  • Don Messer made his mark forever
  • The fiddling king of country music history
  • Through out the world it's undisputed
  • Don Messer & The Islanders were tops
  • And away down east beside the ocean
  • The kind of music they began will never stop
  • Don Messer played rings around the mountain
  • He played reels all across the plaines
  • He played all that kind of music
  • That has made the country proud to say his name
  • He has made the country proud to say his name
