Don Messer Story Lyricsby Stompin' Tom Connors Buy album CD: Other Songs A - T He was born in ol' New Brunswick In the early part of May 1909 Six years old he played the fiddle At the barn dance on the old York County line Every year Don got better He dreamed about that fortune down the track Then he came down To Saint John city Where he formed the Old New Brunswick Lumberjacks Don Messer played rings around the mountain He played reels all across the plaines He played all that kind of music That has made the country proud to say his name Soon his band would have a singer Charlie Chamberlain would join the Messer fleet And travel to Prince Edward Island To play on radio for twelve bucks everyweek On the air right after supper Commencing in the year of '39 The man would say It's Old Don Messer & the Islanders form down the Maritimes Don Messer played rings around the mountain He played reels all across the plaines He played all that kind of music That has made the country proud to say his name Coast to coast with Don & Charlie Duke Neilson, Ray Simmonds played it up Born to Gray with Sea Speackrin Now the Islanders went touring to the top How Charlie sang with Margret Osbourn And Waldo made the old piano twang For the Queen they played in concert And it was magic how Don Messer's fiddle rang Don Messer played rings around the mountain He played reels all across the plaines He played all that kind of music That has made the country proud to say his name Seventeen years on television From 1956 to '73 Don Messer made his mark forever The fiddling king of country music history Through out the world it's undisputed Don Messer & The Islanders were tops And away down east beside the ocean The kind of music they began will never stop Don Messer played rings around the mountain He played reels all across the plaines He played all that kind of music That has made the country proud to say his name He has made the country proud to say his name
