Don Messer Story by Stompin' Tom Connors


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
