Tributo a Wilf Carter

Stompin Tom Connors

Tribute To Wilf Carter

Hello friends, This is Stompin' Tom Connors
And I'd like to dedicate this song to that old Alberta cowboy himself
Wilf Carter

In the year 1904, Upon a cold December morn
In Port Hillford, Nova Scotia Wilf Carter he was born
Went to work for the local farmers, at a very tender age
Til' the Bush Camps of New Brunswick hired Wilf for a better pay
And Wilf began to yodeleyaee in the back woods of Amdee

From the Maritimes to Boston now, the wheat fields of the West
The Plains of ol' Alberta they just seemed to suit him best
Punching cows and breaking horse was the life he loved to lead
And you'd always see Wilf Carter at the Calgary Stampede
And Wilf would always yodeleyaee on the streets of Calgary

When he sang, he'd play the guitar, tellin' stories that were true
For the songs that he wrote, were always about people that he knew
And he took his compositions down to Montreal by train
Where he made his first recording, and was on his way to fame
And Wilf began to yodeleyaee on the radio CBC

Just the plain and simple cowboy, with that old familar grin
To the USA, Wilf Carter was now Montana Slim
From the hungary hobo jungles, to the top recording star
And the people came by thousands, when he strummed that old guitar
And Wilf would always yodeleyaee in a voice so young and free

Now the message of my story won't be hard to understand
And I think I speak for every hardcore country music fan
Though the modern record players have replaced the gramaphone
I still love to here Wilf Carter singing play the cowboy songs
And Wilf can still yodeleyaee any time he wants for me

Tributo a Wilf Carter

Olá amigos, Aqui é o Stompin' Tom Connors
E eu gostaria de dedicar essa canção ao velho cowboy de Alberta
Wilf Carter

No ano de 1904, numa fria manhã de dezembro
Em Port Hillford, Nova Escócia, Wilf Carter nasceu
Começou a trabalhar para os fazendeiros locais, bem jovem
Até que os acampamentos de New Brunswick contrataram Wilf por um salário melhor
E Wilf começou a yodeleyaee nas matas de Amdee

Dos Marítimos a Boston agora, os campos de trigo do Oeste
As planícies da velha Alberta pareciam ser o lugar ideal
Cuidando do gado e domando cavalos, era a vida que ele amava
E você sempre via Wilf Carter na Calgary Stampede
E Wilf sempre yodeleyaee nas ruas de Calgary

Quando ele cantava, tocava violão, contando histórias verdadeiras
Pois as canções que ele escreveu sempre falavam de pessoas que conhecia
E ele levou suas composições para Montreal de trem
Onde fez sua primeira gravação e estava a caminho da fama
E Wilf começou a yodeleyaee no rádio da CBC

Apenas um cowboy simples, com aquele sorriso familiar
Para os EUA, Wilf Carter agora era Montana Slim
Das selvas de vagabundos famintos, ao topo das paradas
E as pessoas vinham em milhares, quando ele dedilhava aquele velho violão
E Wilf sempre yodeleyaee com uma voz tão jovem e livre

Agora a mensagem da minha história não será difícil de entender
E eu acho que falo por todo fã hardcore de música country
Embora os toca-discos modernos tenham substituído o gramofone
Eu ainda amo ouvir Wilf Carter cantando as canções de cowboy
E Wilf ainda pode yodeleyaee sempre que quiser para mim
