The Singing Newfoundlander

I left my home in Newfoundland
Many years ago,
With my guitar and some down east songs
To do a country show;
I've been to many places
To far off foreign lands,
I'm the Singing Newfoundlander
From the Island Newfoundland.

I'm the Singing Newfoundlander
And I sing a happy song,
Tonight I'm on my way back home
To the place where I was born -
CORNER BROOK!
All my friends are waiting there
Just to shake my hand,
I'm the Singing Newfoundlander
From the Island Newfoundland.

Spoken:
I've sung about my island
In countries far and near,
On the Opry down in Nashville
I even have appeared;
I've been down to Australia
Poland and Japan,
I'm the Singing Newfoundlander
From the Island Newfoundland.

I'm the Singing Newfoundlander
And I sing a happy song,
Tonight I'm on my way back home
To the isle where I was born;
All my friends are waiting there
Just to shake my hand,
I'm the Singing Newfoundlander
From the Island Newfoundland.
Yes, the Singing Newfoundlander
Is going home to Newfoundland.
