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
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
[Verse 2]
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
[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 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
[Verse 4]
In Montreal, the Frenchmen say that they own Labrador
Including Indian Harbor where we me father fished before
But if they wanna fight for her
I'll surely take 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
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
Than here in Newfoundland
[Verse 6]
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 out 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
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
Than 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 reason why
I'm free as the wind
And the waves that wash the sand
There's no place I would rather be
Than here in Newfoundland
[Verse 9]
There's no place I would rather be
Than here in Newfoundland
