I've travelled across this country from the east coast to the west,
I've met up with a lot of people, some I would like to forget;
Most of them were friendly and made me feel at home,
But some were not so easy, they said I just didn't belong.
If you see me in Ontario or on Prince Edward Isle,
In Manitoba or Québec, greet me with a smile;
In Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Alberta or B.C.,
Or Saskatchewan, I'm from Newfoundland, a Canadian I'm proud to be;
A Canadian I'm proud to be.
I may not speak the way you do, but God loves me just the same,
He made us one big family, oh let's be a happy one;
And though we have our troubles, we must not be overrun,
'Cause if we work together, we shall overcome.
If you see me in Ontario or on Prince Edward Isle,
In Manitoba or Québec, greet me with a smile;
In Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Alberta or B.C.,
Or Saskatchewan, I'm from Newfoundland, a Canadian I'm proud to be;
A Canadian I'm proud to be.
