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 Fbordered by Aminlets, Ftickles and Fsounds
AmReaches by Fcoves and by Gbays
She Amsoothes your Gvision and you Fsail round her Fshores
With a mixture of Ggreens, browns and Fgrays.
And the Ghouses lie scattered among the Frocks in the cove
Trimmed with Amorange, green, Gyellow and Fblue
In Ftwillingate, GFogo and FLittle Hearts' Ease
FFortune, Trout GRiver, FFermeuse.
Chorus:
She's a Frocky Gisle in the Focean
And she's Fpounded by Fwind from the Gsea
FYou might Amthink that she's Frugged and Fcold
But she's home Gsweet home to Fme.
FBeen tortured for Amcenturies her Fstories Funtold
AmShe struggled with Ffortunes Gunknown
Laid Ambare by the Gglaciers as they Fscraped her to the Fbone
Taking soil to make GGrand Bank Fshoals.
GShe's been battered for eons by the Fcold biting Fwinds
Chewing Amrocks to soft Gbeaches of Fsand
FAnd carving her Gface and Fgiving us a place
That we Fnow call GNewfoundlanFd.
Chorus:
She's a Frocky Gisle in the Focean
And she's Fpounded by Fwind from the Gsea
FYou might Amthink that she's Frugged and Fcold
But she's home Gsweet home to Fme.
FThe ocean surrounAmds her, it Fgives and it Ftakes
Like Amshepherd, Flion and Glamb
The Ampounding and Ggrinding is a Fconstant Freminding
Of the forces that Gfollow the Ftown
From the Gfury of a blizzard on a Fcold winter's night
To the Amquiet of a warm Gsummer's Fday
All Fhardships forGgotten, old Fdebts are repaid
With a day on a Gquiet peaceful Fbay.
Chorus:
She's a Frocky Gisle in the Focean
And she's Fpounded by Fwind from the Gsea
FYou might Amthink that she's Frugged and Fcold
But she's home Gsweet home to Fme.
She's a Frocky Gisle in the Focean
And she's Fpounded by Fwind from the Gsea
FYou might Amthink that she's Frugged and Fcold
But she's home Gsweet home to Fme.
Boy's she's home sweet Ghome to Fme.
