So Long Stompin' Tom

Written and Recorded on March 7, 2013 by Mike Plume.

Video by Riss Wiebe at sarcastechdesigns.com.

(The bulk of melody and a lot of the lyrics borrowed heavily from Stompin' Tom Connors)

So long Stompin' Tom, I can't believe you're gone

So long Stompin' Tom, at least we've got your songs

Like Bud the Spud from the bright red mud

And the Gumboot Cloggeroo.

So long Stompin' Tom, may God take care of you

Me and my wife and kids we all sing along

Driving around Moncton town singing the Hockey Song.

We were to it and at it and at it and to it till we tuned our attitude in.

So long Stompin' Tom, until we meet again

So long Stompin' Tom, I can't believe you're gone

So long Stompin' Tom, at least we've got your songs

Like Margo's got the Cargo, b'y and the ol' Muk Luk Shoo

So long Stompin' Tom, may God take care of you.

So many people I've not met but yet know by name

Like poor ol' Ben down in the pen and that gal Red River Jane

Or Potato and Tomato driving to Windsor in their car

And see walking past the pawn shop is Luke with his guitar

So long Stompin' Tom, I can't believe you're gone

So long Stompin' Tom, at least we've got your songs

Like the TTC Skidaddler and Goodbye Rubberhead too

So long Stompin' Tom, may God take care of you

Well the Father Son and Holy Ghost

They're all hanging on every word

While you're singing songs of Saskatchewan

And tobacco from Tillsonburg.

And a million drunken angles are singing with you tonight.

And when you see my Mum down in the front row

Could you tell her I'm doing alright.

So long Stompin' Tom, I can't believe you're gone.

So long Stompin' Tom, at least we've got your songs.

Like Big Joe Mufferaw and Sudbury Saturday Night

So long Stompin' Tom may you rest in peace tonight.

Thanks so very much for this, Mike. I'm not a Canadian, but I grew up a stone's throw from the border in upstate New York, and was introduced to Stompin' Tom by my grandfather, who just passed six months ago. For each of my 31 years, I've loved Mr. Connors' music, and it holds an incredibly personal connection to me...I didn't expect to be crying tonight, but here I am. The way you've integrated your own musical style with the melodies and rhythms of Tom's own music into such a clearly loving tribute — subtly, without any self-aggrandizement — showcases both your brilliance and the utmost respect for your source material.Thank you, sir. You are a true gentleman, and while I lack the capacity to declare you a true Canadian, I can say with full confidence that Grandpa would've approved. (There I go crying again.) So long, Stompin' Tom...and at least we've got your songs.

Hey Mike, this is top shelf stuff and a first class song. Would love to buy it on iTunes but can't seem to find it. Do you have a link to it?
