I've crossed the ocean many times, been in many foreign lands,
I've seen so many troubles, you might never understand;
If you ever see me leavin', it's only for a little while,
'Cause I'm 100% Newfoundlander until the day I die.
Don't mind goin' to the mainland, it's a worldwide melting pot,
Where people come from troubled lands to give new life a shot;
In her towns the money's good, a place you can abide,
But you're 100% Newfoundlander until the day you die.
Well, I love the sound of breakers as the sea comes rolling in,
And I love to hear those seagulls scream as they dive and dance the wind;
And I love to hear our children laugh, carefree and full of joy,
Yes, I'm 100% Newfoundlander until the day I die.
Gotta pull our boots up proud and strong, get on the band wagon,
Gotta make sure that we flick the spark that ignites the Newfoundlander's dream;
Can't do what other men have done, it'll be too late by and by,
Gotta be 100% Newfoundlander until the day we die.
Well, I love the sound of breakers as the sea comes rolling in,
And I love to hear those seagulls scream as they dive and dance the wind;
And I love to hear our children laugh, carefree and full of joy,
Yes, I'm 100% Newfoundlander until the day I die.
And I intend to stay 100% Newfoundlander,
100% Newfoundlander, until the day I die.
