W:Isle of Newfoundland
W:Bert Cuff
W:
W:In the cold Canadian waters, north from the coast of Maine,
W:There's an island called Newfoundland, swept by snow, wind and rain;
W:On the island there's a village with its customs and its ways,
W:The little town of Carmanville, my home of childhood days.
W:
W:Those childhood days were something, carefree all the time,
W:There's a girl in every story and you know there's one in mine;
W:She broke my heart so often and it stays a little sore,
W:That's the reason I left home and can't go back no more.
W:
W:Chorus:
W:  Where the people make a living on the land and on the sea,
W:  There are people on the island that mean the world to me;
W:  I wish I had the power to change the path of time,
W:  And live again in Newfoundland, my home of childhood time.
W:
W:I'd love to watch the sailboats as they glide across the bay,
W:To see again the farmers sow the seeds and cut the hay;
W:You see, the island has no strangers, everybody is your friend,
W:The little island of Newfoundland, I'd love to see again.
W:
W:Chorus:
W:
W:To live again in Newfoundland, my home of childhood time.
