There's a girl in St. John's Harbour
That I'm longing for to see,
Nobody else do know that girl
Not half as much as me;
She cried so when I left her
That it nearly broke her heart,
And if we ever meet again
We never more will part.
She's the sweetest girl in colour
That a poor boy ever knew,
Her eyes are like the diamonds bright,
They sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your mainland girls
But to me there's none so grand,
You'll find no girls to love you like
The girls from Newfoundland.
Oh, the cold, cold winds are a howling
And I think I've got to go,
To cross that briny ocean
Without a friend or foe;
There'll be no one there to welcome me
When I land upon the sand,
And my Irish luck will be with me there
And my girl from Newfoundland.
She's the sweetest girl in colour
That a poor boy ever knew,
Her eyes are like the diamonds bright,
They sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your mainland girls
But to me there's none so grand,
You'll find no girls to love you like
The girls from Newfoundland.
You'll find no girls to love you like
The girls from Newfoundland.
