I have fond memories of living on Plum Island in the 80s. Winters were rough, but fun.

While this was nice, Plum Island has a song already - a National Anthem, in fact. :) THE PLUM ISLAND NATIONAL ANTHEM (Solo male singer accompanied by fife and drum) Come all ye Newburyporters, and listen to my song If you’ve a short attention span I shall not make it long I am a Plum Islander; Plum Island is my home When green head flies fill the skies, no man walks alone CHORUS: To me way, hey Plum Island, the only home for me Sinking as the sun sets into Atlantic Sea. We cannot drink the water here; we truck it in from town We cannot flush our toilets when the water table’s down We cannot drink the water, so all we drink is beer And when the tides are running high the roads all disappear! CHORUS: To me way, hey Plum Island, the only home for me Sinking as the sun sets into Atlantic Sea. In my front yard there’s naught but sand where once I had a lawn And my whole house sits on the beach now that the dunes are gone And on that beach in summer time, a horde of tourists lie And when you hear the screams you know it’s lunchtime for the flies CHORUS: To me way, hey Plum Island, the only home for me Sinking as the sun sets into Atlantic Sea. Someday Plum Island we shall make an independent nation Protected by our green head flies, flying in formation And when the storms are raging, and snow is coming down thank God we’ve got a bar out here since we can’t get to town. CHORUS: To me way, hey Plum Island, the only home for me Sinking as the sun sets into Atlantic Sea. FINALE: To me way, hey Plum Island, the only home for me Sinking as the sun sets into At-Lan-tic Sea.

Spent some time here as a young child with my family. We used to drive up from Boston (Cambridge). I remember the miles of sandy dunes and the wooden plank walks. Also the greenhead flies (ugh!). Plum Island is a beautiful sanctuary and will always hold a place in my heart surrounded by warm childhood memories. I can still hear the clacking of my sandals on the sand and smell the Coppertone as I'm writing this.

Very nice!! :)

Love it! Love it!! Tried to leave you a note on your music page...and it disappeared into cyber! After I finish wiping my tears I'll try again to leave a note. Excellent song!!

As usual very good and timely. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

One of the best songs I've ever heard in the message it sends and the honest, good down to earth feeling one has having listened along with the beautiful video. I've got a feeling we both know who we will call....

The place where my parents met and the only place on the ocean that we would vacation when I was young. Plum Island is part of my family history and forever in my heart.

NIce! But it would be fun to add the grit of PI- like the blood sucking green heads, unbearably endless cold & snowy winters, and house eating storms. Also- sub the PI Coma & Marthas for Haleys & the Galley.

Thank you / very pretty song

Nice song... I spent 8 summers at Camp Sea Haven on The Island in the 50s & 60s... best summers of my life... a humbling experience... The camp was for polio and other diseased children run by the Harrington family... Thanks Dan & Dan Jr
