NEWFIES

The doors open wide
but not a soul inside
you call out to them by name
still no answer just the same

thats right we don't live in igloos no more
we have real houses, complete with a door
but locking your door just keeps a honest man out
so lots of people don't lock up when they are busy about

since the fisheries all closed down here
so many people have chosen to resettle elsewhere
their the ones you meet up away
the ones who miss Newfoundland to this very day

WHERE CAN YOU GO....

Where can you go to find warmth and kindness too
people who will willingly help you
where can you go as a stranger today
and make a life long friend in a one week stay

where can you go and be greeted on the street
by not  just one but everyone you meet
where can you go for a party at night
one that lasts until the morning light

Where can you go to find such a place
a place with charm ,beauty and grace
you'll only find a place like that here
In beautiful Newfoundland thats where

GONE FISHIN!

They're all going out fishing today
people from all around the bay
its time for our brief cod season
for the busy day, thats the reason

now the catch is limited you see
pack your lunch and thermos of tea
they'll stay out till dark I bet
not ready to give up just yet

cod fishing is still held so dear
as you can tell by all the boats out there
its a art form carried on from on generation to another
a pass time that is like no other

OUTTA WORK

So many Newfie jokes wherever you are
whether your at work, at home or the bar
surely you've told a Newfie joke too
now heres the truth and the jokes on you

we finished all our work thats why we have none now
we worked long and we worked hard is how
we are made to look less then bright
brings the desired affect just right

the jokes kept Newfoundland beauty hidden away
a secret hidden and guared each day
the jokes kept strangers away so long
but now when they come here they think they belong
