A boy in Vancouver missing a girl from Northeastern Ontario.Canada.
He would like to return and re-capture his love mate, which,tongue in cheek of course,could be Shania Twain.
TWAIN BEFORE THE FAME SONG / GIRL FROM TIMMINS
Oh! carry me to North Ontario It's my farewell and time to move along
I fell in love with old Vancouver someday she'll reach for me and I'll be gone
When the liquors good down goes the whiskey the only way I know to mend this cowboy's pride
so freight train blow your lonesome whistle and sing for me that Hobo Bill's last ride
Chorus:
And Lord oh! how I miss that girl from Timmins and how I miss those kisses I love best
the taste of wine that night and her affection haunt me taunt me in these old Vancouver rains
Talk:
You know it's hard for a man sometimes to face the truth about how he manhandles yesterday
where he's at to-day and where he's headed tomorrow if only I'd a listened a little more
perhaps she's still be with me now. So I guess I'll hock this old guitar for a train ticket home
get a job in the mines and save my money and maybe buy a brand new pick-up truck
who knows she may take this old guitar picker back. In the meantime well it's another town
anther girl and..always the same ol song.
