Stompin' Tom Connors - Bud The Spud Lyrics
It's bud the spud from the bright red mudRollin' down the Highway smiling-The Spuds are big on the back of Bud's rigAnd they're from Prince Edward Island they're from Prince Edward IslandNow from Charlottetown or from SummersideThey load him down for the big long rideHe jumps in the cab and he's off with the pride SobagosHe's gotta catch the boat to make Tormentine & he heads up that old New Brunswick lineThrough Montreal he comes just a flyin with another big load a potatoes.It's bud the spud from the bright red mudRollin' down the Highway smiling-The Spuds are big on the back of Bud's rigAnd they're from Prince Edward Island they're from Prince Edward IslandNow the Ontario Provincial Police don't think mucha Bud...Yeah the cops a been lookin for the son of a gunThat's been rippin the tar off the 401-They know the name on the truck shines up in the sun-"Green Gables."But he hits Toronto and it's 7 O'Clock when he backs er up agin the terminal dock.And the boys gather round just to hear him talkAbout another big load a potatoes!It's bud the spud from the bright red mudRollin' down the Highway smiling-The Spuds are big on the back of Bud's rigAnd they're from Prince Edward Island they're from Prince Edward IslandNow I know a lot of people from east to westThat like the spuds from the island best.Cause they'll stand up to the hardest test-right on the table.So when ya see that big truck rollin by- wave yer hand or kinda wink yer eye,Cause that's Bud the Spud from old PEI, with another big load a potatoes!It's bud the spud from the bright red mudRollin' down the Highway smiling-Slow-because he's got another big load,Of the best dog gone potatoes that's ever been growedAnd they're from Prince Edward Island They're from Prince Edward Island
