Bud The Spud Lyrics - A Truly Proud Canadian - Stompin' Tom Connors

It's bud the spud from the bright red mud 

Goin 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 & he heads up that old New B. line 

Through Montreal he comes just a flyin with another big load a potatoes. 

Now the OPP don't think mucha Bud... 

Yeah the cops a been lookin for the son of a gun 

That'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 again the terminal dock. 

And the boys gather round just to hear him talk 

About another big load a potatoes! 

Chorus: 

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 yer hand or kinda wink yer eye, 

Cause that's Bud the Spud from old Prince Edward Island, with another big load a potatoes!
