[Lyrics for Stompin – Tom Connors Algoma 69]
She’s on a bar hoppin spree back in Sault Ste. Marie,
Because of me she’s now fallen star.
She could have been true, but I left her in the Soo,
& I travelled north upon the ACR
But if it’s go home or be a roamer I’ve made up my mind
So take me home tonight Algoma Central 69
I was workin one day when I heard this fella say
he met my girl while drinkin at the bar
Though we fought between us two, still he swore that it was true-
Now I curse that day I rode the ACR
Solo
Though it might be in vain, here I wait for the train,
I hope it’s not too late to right the wrong
When she rolls around the bend, we’ll be southbound again,
C’mon old ACR wheels move along.
She’s on a bar hoppin spree, back in S. S. Marie,
Because of me she’s now a fallen star
She could have been true, but I left her in the Soo,
& I travelled north upon the A.C.R.-
Repeat second line.
