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!

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
