Welcome to The Songbook Index, location for lyrics to songs which are part of Eastern Canadian folk music (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland). Many songs were brought to this region through three centuries of colonial growth, while others were written yesterday. The traditional music in Eastern Canada reflects the areas strong roots and descendants from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England. Many illustrate the area's connection to the sea, through sailing and fishing shantys. Other songs offer a glimps into the life of the people, with romance ballads and drinking tunes. Some traditional songs contain several versions. It should be noted that because some songs are very traditional, original versions may have been altered through time. Versions used within the index, are not necessarily the historic or original version. Also, because many of these songs are drinking and sailing songs, proper english and grammar is not always used....
