Story behind the song
It's about someone's home town in my case, mine and Shania Twain's home town of Timmins ON. Canada. I wrote a poem about Tommy Jack and about someone who stole his picture at the Empire Hotel. I call it 'The Legend Of Tommy Jack" I'll publish it someday. I believe it's at wwwpoemhunter.com
Lyrics
The Lady Is My Town By Paul Henry Dallaire Paul Henry Pub. SOCAN I got myself a love a love of my own My dancin shoes are all worn down Someone who will cherish the vows that we make Hand me down my walkin cane Now the tall city woman's a Canadian treat In praise of Tommy Jack and Princess maggie In spring she wears a dress of tulips fit for a queen The lady is my town Verse: She's got a heart of gold and romances with me As we dance round and round At the slopes of Kamiskotia we did a little ski Ms Timmins you wear the crown Now in december we can skate and play shinny on the ice With our friends across the river in Mattagami Heights The maple leaves in autumn yellow red and green The Lady is my town Legend about the song: Tommy Jack is notorious prospector who helped define the north of Ontario. In winter you could see him brushing flies when there were none around. I guess from spending so much time in the bush. Princess Maggie Buffalo (Leclair) was also a full blooded Chipewa Indian who spent a lot of her life in a cabin on Kamiskotia lake. She buried her first husband and two children on a Kamiskotia Island. She partook in many town celebration and was a local hero.
