Bud the Spud    Tom Conners   

Chorus: 

Well it's Bud the Spud, from the bright red mud, 

Rollin' down the highway smilin', 

The spuds are big on the back of Bud's rig, 

There from Prince Edward Island, 

There from Prince Edward Island. 

Now from Charlottetown, or from Summerside, 

They load him up for the long long ride; 

He jumps in the cab and he's off with the Pride Sebagoes. 

He's gotta catch a boat to make Tormentine, 

Then he hits up that old New Brunswick line, 

Through Montreal he comes just a flyin' 

With another big load of potatoes. 

Chorus 

Well, the cops have been lookin' for the son of a gun 

That's been rippin' the tar off the four-O-one; 

They know the name on the truck shines up in the sun -- 

"Green Gables." 

But he hits Toronto and at seven o'clock, 

He backs her up again at the terminal dock, 

And the boys gather `round just to hear him talk 

About another big load of potatoes. 

"Hey bud." 

Is that you callin' 

"Ya Bud, what are you haulin'?" 

Got another big load of the best potatoes that's ever been growed. 

"Where are they from?" 

They're from Prince Edward Island. 

"Where?" 

They're from Prince Edward Island. 

"Oh, do you like potatoes?" 

Do I like potatoes? I like: 

Mashed potatoes 

Boiled potatoes 

Scalloped potato 

Whipped potato 

Curried potato 

French-fried potatoes 

Baked potato 

"Hash browns!" 

Potato chips 

Potato roti 

Potato soup 

Potato salad 

Potato knish 

Potato pari 

Potato gelatti 

Potato fritters 

Potato pancakes 

"Buddy, oh I want a potato pancake!" 

Chorus 

Now I know a lot of people from east to west 

And they like the spuds from the island best, 

`Cause they stand up to the hardest test -- 

Right at the table; 

So when you see that old truck rolling by, 

Kinda wave your hand or wink your eye, 

`Cause that's Bud the Spud, from P.E.I. 

With another big load 

He's got another big load 

He's got another big load of potatoes!
