The Islander

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

I spent some time in New York state I nearly lost my mind

The city life's too fast for me nobody had the time

Cement and steel and flashng lights was all that I could see

It maybe 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 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

In Montreal the Frenchmen say that the they own Labrador

Including Indian Harbor where my father fished before

And if they want to fight for her then I'll surely make a stand

And they'll regret the day they tried to talk our Newfoundland

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, yap!

Now that the oil on our shore we better take the time

To develope 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

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

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

There's no place I would rather be... than here in Newfoundland...
