Folksongs of New Brunswick

By Edward D. Ives

The folksong tradition of New Brunswick is robust, often satirical, sometimes bawdy and firmly rooted in the working lives of men and women. Folksongs of New Brunswick contains "the fruit of a thirty-year harvest of songs" gathered by Edward (Sandy) Ives along the St. John, the Miramichi, the St. Croix, and every river in between. This book contains the words and music for most of the ballads and stories about the events which gave birth to the songs.
