My Cape Shore Home

Come all ye mainlanders and listen to me,
For I will sing a song to you,
Of the people and the sea.

It's about us noble Newfies,
And the rugged life we live;
We work the land, we fish the sea,
From morning until night.

If you ever come to Newfoundland,
To tour our rugged isle;
Just take route 100,
It will lead you to St. Bride's.

To go there on a summer's day,
And view the cod fishery;
It will take you back to bygone days,
Back in history.

It brought our ancestors here,
And to this very day continues to be,
A part of life, in Placentia Bay.

You can visit Cape St.Mary's,
And watch the gannets fly;
Or view the sand in Point Lance,
It's dazzling to the eye.

In Branch there is the western cove,
And Beckford to be seen;
The pretty girls are out there, too,
And the air is fresh and clean.

So, if you ever come to Newfoundland,
To tour our rugged isle;
Just take route 100,
It will lead you to St. Bride's.
