Lyrics
My name is Peter Rambeley, as you may understand
Born on Prince Edward Island, close by the ocean strand
In the spring of eighteen eighty-one
When the flowers was fair to view
I left my native country, my fortune to pursue
And I landed in New Brunswick, that lumbering country
And I hired out in the lumbering woods which proved my destiny
I hired out in the lumbering woods
For to cut the tall pine down
When I was struck by a fallin' limb, and scrunched into the ground
Now I'll ne'er again see the lofty ships as they go a-sailin' by
With a flag a-flyin' in the air, above the canvas high
Farewell to you, Prince Edward Isle
And you island girls so true
For dyin' I lie in this strange land, so far away from you
