Tillsonburg

      D     	  	  	 A7      	  
While away down in southern Ontario, 
 	  	           D 
I never had a nickel or a dime to show, 
 	  	          A7 
A fellow beeped up in an automobile, 
 	  	  	          D 
He said, "Ya wanna work in the tobacco fields of... 
 
G 	  	            D 	  
Tillsonburg (Tillsonburg), Tillsonburg (Tillsonburg), 
   A7    	  	    G         D           	  
My back still aches when I hear that word. 
 
He said "I'll only give ya seven bucks a day, 
And if your any good you'll get a raise in pay, 
Your bed's already on the bunkhouse floor, 
If it gets a little chilly you can close the door. 
 
Chorus 
 
I was feelin' in the morning anything but fine, 
The farmer said "I'm gonna teach you how to 'prime' ", 
He said, "You gotta don a pair of oilskin pants, 
If you wanna work in the tobacco plants of... 
 
Chorus 
 
We landed in a field that was long and wide, 
With one old horse and five more guys, 
I asked him where to find the cigarette trees, 
When he said, "Bend over," I was ready to leave... 
 
Chorus 
 
He said to pick just the bottom leaves, 
And don't start crawlin' on your hands and knees, 
Prime your row 'cause you'll get no pay, 
For standin' there pickin' at your nose all day 'round... 
 
Chorus 
 
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 and the morning dew of... 
 
Chorus 
 
Now the nearest river was two miles from, 
The place they where waitin' for the boat to come, 
When I heard some talk about makin' the kill, 
I was down the road and over the hill from... 
 
Chorus 
 
Now there's one thing you can always bet, 
If I never smoke another cigarette, 
I might get taken in a lot of deals, 
But I won't go to work in the tobacco fields of...
