This Is My Island

Click Here for guitar tabs.

This is my island, this is your island, too.
I have my memories, you have your memories, too;
Walking barefoot in the sand, watching bake apples turn into jam,
Talked to my mama she knows who I am.

Singing all together now, singing all together now,
God guard thee Newfoundland.

This is my heritage, this is your heritage, too,
I have my heroes, you have your heroes, too;
Mr. Smallwood got my boat. Tom Crocker builder of boats.
Mr. Shepherd he knew what I wrote.

Singing all together now, singing all together now,
God guard thee Newfoundland.

This is my story, this is your story. too,
I have a future, you have a future, too;
It's up to me, it's up to you. I have children, you do too,
Leave them something to hold onto.

Singing all together now, singing all together now,
God guard thee Newfoundland.
