The PEI Express

Now friends if you will listen the I will sing to you a song
About the PEI Express so it won't take very long
It's eight miles to Borden, thirty minutes run I guess
But it takes about four hours on the PEI Express

Chorus:
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar
As she glides on through the woodlands and foothills by the shore
The rumble of the engine doing twenty, that's her best
Now boys you sure will get a thrill on the PEI Express

There's a hobo down in Summerside I met him there today
He said that he was anxious to be getting on his way
The one thing that stopped him -- he needed sleep and rest
He'd take no chances getting it on the PEI Express

Next month I get my furlough to Moncton I will go
They gave me five days traveling time, I'll need it all I know
I'll have to go to Borden, it takes five days I guess
So I'll spend all my traveling time on the PEI Express
