Lyrics
It's bud the spud from the bright red mud
Going down the highway, smiling
The Spuds are big on the back of Bud's rig
And they're from Prince Edward Island, they're from Prince Edward Island
Now from Charlottetown or from Summerside
They load him down for the big long ride
He jumps in the cab and he's off with the pride Sobagos
He's gotta catch the boat to make Tormentine
And he heads up that old New Brownswind line
Through Montreal he comes just a flying with another big load a potatoes
It's bud the spud from the bright red mud
Going down the highway, smiling
The Spuds are big on the back of Bud's rig
And they're from Prince Edward Island, they're from Prince Edward Island
Now the Ontario Provincial Police don't think mucha Bud
Yeah the cops've been looking for the son of a gun
That's been rippin the tar off the 4-0-1
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 against the terminal dock
And the boys gather round just to hear him talk
About another big load a potatoes
It's bud the spud from the bright red mud
Going down the highway, smiling
The Spuds are big on the back of Bud's rig
And they're from Prince Edward Island, they're from Prince Edward Island
Now I know a lot of people from east to west
That 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 your hand or kinda wink your eye
'Cause that's Bud the Spud from old P-E-I, with another big load a potatoes
It's bud the spud from the bright red mud
Going down the highway, smiling
Because he's got another big load
Of the best dog gone potatoes that's ever been growed
And they're from Prince Edward Island, they're from Prince Edward Island
