LYRICS

Oh my, P.E.I, that’s Prince Edward Island,

Mm, P.E.I. – in the deep blue sea.
Oh my, P.E.I., that’s Prince Edward Island,

Mm, P.E.I. – room for you and me.

The year was 1534
Jacques Cartier came ashore
and marveled at the red earth that we still see today
And with explorer’s hands
He gathered up some of that sand
And as he left he vowed that he’d be back someday.

Refrain:
Oh my, P.E.I., that’s Prince Edward Island,
Mm, P.E.I. – love the big bridge too!
Oh my, P.E.I., that’s Prince Edward Island,
Mm, P.E.I. – room for me and you.

Well Lucy Maud Montgomery
Wrote about Anne (spelled with an “e”)
A girl with hair the color of the island sand
Green Gables her abode
Gilbert her man to have and hold
And Matthew and Marilla with her all the way.

When 1867 came – this country got it’s name
When John A. gathered delegates in Charlottetown
They talked ‘til they agreed
Confederation’s what we need
And John A. dreamed that we’d be coast to coast one day.

Refrain:
Oh my, P.E.I., that’s Prince Edward Island ,
Mm, P.E.I. – in the deep blue sea.
Oh my, P.E.I., Cradle of Confederation,
Mm, P.E.I. – room for you and me.
