One of the first songs Stompin' Tom Connors ever recorded, coming out on a single record in the mid 60s and the entire song follows a very small connected northern area including Kirkland Lake (Kirkland) Virginiatown (V-Town), Larder Lake (Larder) and Rouyn-Noranda (Rouyn).
The day I left Kirkland, my girl's head was circlin' and I left her with only one shoe on
My baby in Larder she may take it harder cause i've got a new one in Rouyn, i've got a new one in Rouyn
I'm a honky-tonk player just drifting along i'll move like a lethal when blew on
I'll love you tonight and i'll hold you so tight, tomorrow i'll move on to Rouyn, tomorrow i'll move on to Rouyn
Tonight if I gamble, tomorrow i'll ramble, i'm a captain that don't take no crew on
Goodbye to my Shirley, she's been a cute girly but i've got a new one in Rouyn, i've got a new one in Rouyn
I'm a honky-tonk player just drifting along i'll move like a lethal when blew on
I'll love you tonight and i'll hold you so tight, tomorrow i'll move on to Rouyn, tomorrow i'll move on to Rouyn
Now love is a stranger to some it's a danger, to me it ain't nothin' to stew on
I'll play with your curls and i'll call you my girl but i've got a new one in Rouyn, i've got a new one in Rouyn
I'm a honky-tonk player just drifting along i'll move like a lethal when blew on
From Kirkland to Larder through V-Town and farther i've just got the move on to Rouyn, cause i've got a new one in Rouyn
So i'm gonna move on to Rouyn
Stompin-tom-connors released Movin’ On To Rouyn on Fri Sep 04 1987.
