[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A E
You sporting young fellows from Prince Edward Island,
A
You think on your farms you are doin' no good
A
With your minds are never easy, continually crazy
D A E A
To go off to Bangor and work in the woods.
[Verse 2]
A E
Well, a new suit of clothes is prepared for the journey,
A
A new pair of boots made by Sherlock and Clark,
A
And a fine kennebecker done up with good homespun,
D A E A
Just then the young Islander makes his embark.
[Verse 3]
A E
When he reaches Bangor, gets off at the station,
A
And the woodsmen gaze on him all with a keen eye;
A
For they know by the clothes that the youngster is wearin'
D A E A
'Tis easily seen he's from old P.E.I.
[Verse 4]
A E
In Bangor they'll poison the youth with bad whiskey
A
To the devil they banish their whiskey and ale
A
And then on the corner they'll find the youth tipsy,
D A E A
They'll call for Tim Leary to drag him to jail
[Verse 5]
A E
You may talk of your law, by the mother of Moses,
A
Sure, I've seen better laws from the heathen Chinee
A
Where a man can get drunk and in comfort get sober
D A E A
All under the shade of his mulberry tree
[Verse 6]
