Peter Emberley Sung by / Chanté Par Tom Kines SONG NOTES FROM ALAN MILLS: A tragic ballad that is widely popular throughout the lumber camps of eastern canada and U.S.A., this song tells the true story of a young man who left his native province of Prince edward Island to work in the lumber woods of the Miramichi River region of New Brunswick, and who was fatally injured when struck by falling logs. The verses were written shortly after Peter's death, in 1881, by a New Brunswick balladeer named John Calhoun, who had known the young victim, and who followed aa common tradition of relating the tragic story in the first person. The song is sung to several different tunes, and the version given here was collected in Nova Scotia by Dr. Helen Creighton. (French Notes to Come) --------------------------- Volume VII Songs and Ballads of the Lumber Camps Chansons de "Voyageurs" The lumber camps of eastern Canada— from the Atlantic provinces to Ontario— have provided one of the richest sources of folk songs, for it is in these camps, during the long winter months, that woodsmen entertained each other (and learned from each other) many of the traditional ballads and folk songs of their ancestors, and created their own songs and ballads, either to amuse themselves and help them in their work, or to record some of their experiences— both tragic and humorous— in the woods. The tunes of their songs were frequently borrowed from older folk songs, and in many instances— especially among French-speaking woodsmen— the stories of traditional folk songs were adapted to various "workable" tunes, to which were added simple refrains to suit their new uses. Examples of all these forms are included in this album. ----- Canadian Folk Songs: A Centennial Collections Chansons folklorique du Canada --- You can check out my own music by subscribing to this channel My website: http://www.bri-anneswan.com Twitter:   / swannybee   Youtube:    / swannybee   Bandcamp: http://bri-anneswan.bandcamp.com I purchased this 9 LP collection (my favourite vinyl find of all time) and was about to start digitizing the songs to put them online, but the lovely Stephen Lower already did it!!
