Paul Henry Dallaire Poems

The internet gave me a love of my own
high class from Toronto no less
Brunette brown eyes best lookin thing in a skirt
In a pair of cowboy boots
...

Jesus was a Social Democrat he wore sandals 'stead 'O shoes
a Nomad of the Desert with another bunch of Jews
I believe he had a girlfriend Mary Magdalene a shrew
He preached the words of wisdom to give us fortitude
...

When I awoke this mornin
Dragged my body out of bed
I had a ex wife fever
Scramblin thru my head
...

Chorus:
Now there's a town where I was born
In Northeastern Ontario
A place we love to celebrate
...

A cowboy's dream is to go to Nashville Tennessee where all the cowboys seem to go, however, fate has it that this Lenny ends up on a park bench instead of Nashville.
I knew this guy personally and his real name is Len Poulin. I met Len in Ottawa Ontario Canada where we busked the streets together and drank a lot of beer at the Lafayette Hotel there. He is dead now but appeared on a couple small time films such as 'Rent' and maybe 'Cowboyz'produced by Peter Evanchuck (Film maker) of Ottawa, Canada.

Town with no train

The old home town don't look the same
Since they took out the old train
...

(Timmins Your My Town)

I got myself a love a love of my own
My dancin shoes are all worn down
...

Regarde le marche sur le trottoire avec ses jeans
Avec ses problemes qui porte dans un pack-sac
Un jour y etait une grande vedette aved d l'argent pit tout
Qie depenser comme c'ta d'leau
...

It was nineteen fifty six when he came on to the scene
With his Big River woman who washed him down the stream
He sang about the good stuff the hobos and the trains
He shone the light on heroes remember Ira Hayes

I walked into a bar one night called 'Sidewinders' in Ottawa Ontario Canada They were having an electric bull riding contest and a woman won a trophy. I asked the waitress for a pen and the song was born. It got a lot of attention from www.topix.com
The Raceway Tavern is where I was performing in the week-ends.
