The Islander (Live)

I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred And I'll be one 'til I die I'm proud to be an Islander And here's the reason why I'm free as the wind And the waves that wash the sand There's no place I would rather be Then here in Newfoundland I spent some time in New York state And I nearly lost my mind The city life's too fast for me Nobody has the time Cement and steel and flashing lights is all that I could see It may be good for New York state But it's no damn good for me I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred And I'll be one 'til I die I'm proud to be an Islander And here's the reason why I'm free as the wind And the waves that wash the sand There's no place I would rather be Then here in Newfoundland In Montreal the frenchmen say that they own Labrador Including Indian Harbor where me father fished before But if they wanna fight for her I'll surley take a stand And they'll regret the day they tried to take our Newfoundland I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred And I'll be one 'til I die I'm proud to be an Islander And here's the reason why I'm free as the wind And the waves that wash the sand There's no place I would rather be Then here in Newfoundland Now that the oil is on our shore We better take the time To develop it more carefully Or else we're gonna find What could have been the answer to a poor economy It changed our way of living And destroyed our fishery I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred And I'll be one 'til I die I'm proud to be an Islander And here's the reason why I'm free as the wind And the waves that wash the sand There's no place I would rather be Then here in Newfoundland I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred And I'll be one 'til I die I'm proud to be an Islander And here's the reason why I'm free as the wind And the waves that wash the sand There's no place I would rather be Then here in Newfoundland There's no place i would rather be Then here in Newfoundland
