Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred
And I'll be one till I die
I'm proud to be an islander and here's the reasons why
I'm free as the wind and the waves that wash the sands
There's no place I would rather be then here in Newfoundland
[Verse 2]
I spent some time in New York state and nearly lost my mind
The city life's too fast for me, nobody had the time
Cement and steel and flashing lights was all that I could see
It may be good for New York state
But it's no damn good for me
[Verse 3]
I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred
And I'll be one till I die
I'm proud to be an islander and here's the reasons why
I'm free as the wind and the waves that wash the sands
There's no place I would rather be then here in Newfoundland
[Verse 4]
In Montreal, the frenchmen say that they own Labrador
Including Indian Harbor where my father fished before
And if they want to fight for her well I'll surely make a stand
And they'll regret the day they tried to take our Newfoundland
[Verse 5]
I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred
And I'll be one till I die
I'm proud to be an islander and here's the reasons why
I'm free as the wind and the waves that wash the sands
There's no place I would rather be then here in Newfoundland
[Verse 6]
Now that the oil that's on our shore we better take the time
To develop it more carefully or else you're going to find
What could have been the answer to our poor economy
Has changed our way of living and destroyed our fishery
[Verse 7]
I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred
And I'll be one till I die
I'm proud to be an islander and here's the reasons why
I'm free as the wind and the waves that wash the sands
There's no place I would rather be then here in Newfoundland
[Verse 8]
I'm a Newfoundlander born and bred
And I'll be one till I die
I'm proud to be an islander and here's the reasons why
I'm free as the wind and the waves that wash the sands
There's no place I would rather be then here in Newfoundland
[Verse 9]
There's no place I would rather be then here in Newfoundland
