Chorus:
She's a rocky isle in the ocean
And she's pounded by wind from the sea
You might think that she's rugged and cold
But she's home sweet home to me.
She's Gbordered by Bminlets, Ctickles and Gsounds
EmReaches by Ccoves and by Dbays
She Emsoothes your Dvision and you Csail round her Gshores
With a mixture of Dgreens, browns and Ggrays.
And the Dhouses lie scattered among the Crocks in the cove
Trimmed with Emorange, green, Dyellow and Cblue
In Gtwillingate, DFogo and CLittle Hearts' Ease
GFortune, Trout DRiver, GFermeuse.
Chorus:
She's a Grocky Disle in the Gocean
And she's Cpounded by Gwind from the Dsea
GYou might Emthink that she's Crugged and Gcold
But she's home Dsweet home to Gme.
GBeen tortured for Bmcenturies her Cstories Guntold
EmShe struggled with Cfortunes Dunknown
Laid Embare by the Dglaciers as they Cscraped her to the Gbone
Taking soil to make DGrand Bank Gshoals.
DShe's been battered for eons by the Ccold biting Gwinds
Chewing Emrocks to soft Dbeaches of Csand
GAnd carving her Dface and Cgiving us a place
That we Gnow call DNewfoundlanGd.
Chorus:
She's a Grocky Disle in the Gocean
And she's Cpounded by Gwind from the Dsea
GYou might Emthink that she's Crugged and Gcold
But she's home Dsweet home to Gme.
GThe ocean surrounBmds her, it Cgives and it Gtakes
Like Emshepherd, Clion and Dlamb
The Empounding and Dgrinding is a Cconstant Greminding
Of the forces that Dfollow the Gtown
From the Dfury of a blizzard on a Ccold winter's night
To the Emquiet of a warm Dsummer's Cday
All Ghardships forDgotten, old Cdebts are repaid
With a day on a Dquiet peaceful Gbay.
Chorus:
She's a Grocky Disle in the Gocean
And she's Cpounded by Gwind from the Dsea
GYou might Emthink that she's Crugged and Gcold
But she's home Dsweet home to Gme.
She's a Grocky Disle in the Gocean
And she's Cpounded by Gwind from the Dsea
GYou might Emthink that she's Crugged and Gcold
But she's home Dsweet home to Gme.
Boy's she's home sweet Dhome to Gme.
