You are correct Kendall and this is the version I learned from Mum.

Prince Edward Island is Heaven to Me
(Harold Breau)

They talk about Texas, Kentucky and Maine,
Talk about London, Paris and Spain.
But there's a little island, I long there to be.
Prince Edward Island is heaven to me.

The shores are so pretty, the fields are so green,
The roads are so winding, with such pretty scenes.
The air is so pure and the people so gay,
Prince Edward Island , I'm coming to stay.

There's swimming and hunting and fishing galore.
The sun shines so bright on its long golden shore.
The Lord made this island for all men to see;
Prince Edward Island is heaven to me.

THIS VERSE IS SPOKEN

As everyone knows, there are ten provinces in the
Dominion of Canada,each beautiful in its own respect.
There's British Columbia, Quebec, Alberta,
Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Manitoba,
Nova Scotia, Ontario and Saskatchewan,
But Prince Edward Island to me is the one.

Last verse
The soil is so fertile, so rich and so rare,
It yields such potatoes, which none can compare.
Tourists are welcome to walk its red soil.
While farmers are happy to work and to toil.
