27. Peter Emberley (c 27)
Manny 160
(Tune: Folkways FM 4O53)

This tale of the young man from Prince Edward Island who was fatally injured in the Miramichi woods when a log rolled on him is the favourite ballad of New Brunswick. John Calhoun, one of the men who drove the injured lad down to his employer's home, described his fate in these verses, and a local singer, Abraham Munn, set them to an old Irish tune that has served for many songs both in Ireland and North America. As winter conditions made it impossible for a priest to conduct Emberley’s funeral, someone added a verse asking that his grave be blessed, and most singers adopted it, much to Calhoun’s annoyance. Louise Manny gives the nine verses Calhoun wrote; the extra verse is at the end. Nearly all singers omit verses 4 and 9, and many sing only 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and the added verse: for example, Marie Hare on Folk-Legacy FSC 9, and Wilmot MacDonald on Folkways FM 4053, whose tune is used here. The song is well known along the east coast: Laws lists versions from Maine, New Hampshire, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland (NAB 160); and it has also spread to Ontario (Fowke LSNW127).
