Stompin' Tom Connors - Tillsonburg

^ATillsonburg, My ^Eback still aches when I hear that ^Aword, While way down in southern On t^Eario, I never had a nickel or a d^Aime to show, A fella beeped up in a a^Eutomobile, Said you wanna work in the to b^Aacco fields, Of ^DTillsonburg, ^ATillsonburg, My ^Eback still aches when I hear that ^Aword,

He said I'll only give ya seven b^Eucks a day, And if your any good you get a r^Aaise in pay, Your beds all ready on the b^Eunk house floor, If it gets a little chilly you can c^Alose the door, ^DTillsonburg, ^ATillsonburg, My ^Eback still aches when I hear that ^Aword,

I was feelin' in the mornin' any t^Ehing but fine, The farmer said I'm gonna teach ya h^Aow da prime, He says you gotta don a pair of o^Eil skin pants, If you wanna work in those to b^Aacco plants, Of ^DTillsonburg, ^ATillsonburg, My ^Eback still aches when I hear that ^Aword,

We landed in a field that was l^Eong and wide, With one old horse and f^Aive more guys, I asked him where to find the c^Eigarette trees, When he said bend over I was r^Aeady to leave, ^DTillsonburg, ^ATillsonburg, My ^Eback still aches when I hear that ^Aword,

He said just to pick the b^Eottom leaves, And don't start crawlin' on your h^Aands and knees, Prime your row 'cause you'll g^Eet no pay, For standin' there pickin' at your n^Aose all day, 'Round ^DTillsonburg, ^ATillsonburg, My ^Eback still aches when I hear that ^Aword,

With a broken back bendin' o^Ever there, I was wet right through to the u^Anderwear, And it was stuck to my s^Ekin like glue, From the nicotine tar and the m^Aornin' dew, Of ^DTillsonburg, ^ATillsonburg, My ^Eback still aches when I hear that ^Aword,

Now the nearest river was t^Ewo miles from, The place they were waitin' for the b^Aoat to come, When I heard some talk about m^Eakin' the kill, I was down the highway and o^Aver the hill, From ^DTillsonburg, ^ATillsonburg, My ^Eback still aches when I hear that ^Aword,

Now there's one thing you can a^Elways bet, If I never smoke another c^Aigarette, I might get taken in a l^Eot of deals, But I won't go work in them to b^Aacco fields, Of ^DTillsonburg, ^ATillsonburg, My ^Eback still aches when I hear that ^Aword.
