Текст песни Man with the Black Hat (Tim Hus) с переводом

Here’s a song about a man I think you all know

He plays a Canadian country music show

A man of the land from East to West

He wears a red maple leaf pinned to his vest

From P.E.I. where the potatoes grow

To the tobacco fields of Ontario

Saturday night in Sudbury town

And how the bridge came tumbling down

Chorus:

With the sawdust flying, oh my Lord

He stomps his boot on the stomping board

He sings about Canada, he sings it like that

And he always wears a big black cowboy hat

Born in St. John, New Brunswick

Life was tough and he grew up quick

At fifteen he hit the road for good

Hitch-hiking with his buddy Steve Foote

Down the highway with an old guitar

Riding the freight train on a cattle car

Singing songs of the people and the places found

And he called them all «My Stompin' Grounds»

Chorus

Thirteen years down the road

He blew into Timmins, Ontario

Busted and broke, not feelin' too well

He got a job singing at the Maple Leaf Hotel

Soon his voice was on the radio

And he was playing the Horseshoe down in Toronto

He became a star, one of a kind

Through the mountain and the prairies

And the Maritimes

Chorus

He told of the people in the songs he wrote

In the mines, and the farms, and the camps, and the coal boats

Red River Jane and the Moon Man Newfie

Big Joe Mufferaw and Muk Tuk Annie

He stood up tall and he made a stand

And said «Im' proud to be Canadian»

So here’s to Bud the Spud and The Hockey Song

And here’s to you Stompin' Tom

Chorus
