Description:
Gas prices are way too high here in Timmins little tune about my home town featuring a couple of characters like Princess Maggie of Kamiskotia a full blooded Chippewa Indian born in Nighthawk Centre near Timmins. ON. Canada.She spent her life in a cabin on Kamiskotia lake where she buried a husband and two children on an island on Kamiskotia lake. They died during the plague years. To-day nothing is left but this song and not even a marker in our local cemetery. Shame on you Timmins.ON Canada. P.S. My father (a prospector), told me she could skin a beaver faster than you could smoke a cigarette. (I never for got that) There's also Tommy Jack a prospector who got swindled out of a mine by Jamie Jaimeson another prospector who knew the score. Tommy was looking for gold but found copper. He sold his claims for next to nothing cause he thought copper (Fool's gold was worth nothing. That's my story and I'm stickin to it. Ironically I worked at that mine called The Canadian Jamieson and it was a copper mine. (I was a ballmill operator) The lady is my town First verse and chorus: I got myself a love a love of my own My dancin shoes are all worn down Someone who will cherish the vows that we make Hand me down my walkin cane Now the tall city woman's a Canadian treat In praise of Tommy Jack and Princess Maggie In spring she wears a dress of tulips fit for a queen The lady is my town Verse: She's got a heart of gold and romances with me As we dance round and round At the slopes of Kamiskotia we did a little ski Ms.Timmins you wear the crown Now in December we can skate and play shinny on the ice With our friends across the river in Mattagami Heights The maple leaves in autumn yellow red and green The lady is my town Words & Music Paul Henry Dallaire Paul Henry Pub. SOCAN U.S.Rep ASCAP With guitar styling of Gerry Dallaire and Germaine Belmarre on the piano and synthetizer There's a poem I wrote a bout Tommy on www.poemhunters,com
