In the cold Canadian waters,
North from the coast of Maine,
Swept by snow, wind and rain.
On the island there's a village
with its customs and its ways,
The little town of Carmanville,
my home of childhood days.
Where the people make a living
on the land and on the sea,
There are people on the island
that mean the world to me.
to change the course of time
And to live again in Newfoundland,
my home of childhood time
There's a girl in every story
and you know there's one in mine
She broke my heart so often,
And that's the reason I left home
and can't go back no more
Where the people make a living
on the land and on the sea
There are people on the island
that mean the world to me
to change the course of time
And to live again in Newfoundland,
my home of childhood time
I'd love to watch the sailboats again
as they glide across the bay
the farmers sow their seeds and cut the hay
everybody is your friend,
the little isle of Newfoundland,
Where the people make a living,
on the land and on the sea,
there are people on the island
that mean the world to me.
to change the course of time
And to live again in Newfoundland,
my home of childhood time.
To live again in Newfoundland,
my home of childhood time.
