Landing in Stephenville, Newfoundland .
Summer 2009 ,

A Newfie's a Newfie wherever he goes
It don't seem to matter the cut of his clothes
The gleam in his eyes and the way that he walks
And the true Newfie tone in the way that he talks

Chorus:
So, by the Lord dyin', by the thunderin' gee
How are you doin' you son-of-a-b?
You can't fool your old man by dressin' like that
You're still just a Newfie in a Calgary hat.

Now, over the years when things aren't the best
A lot of our fellers head out for the west
But everyone knows that they ain't gonna stay
They'll always come back with those up-along ways

No one suspected we'd ever have oil
The Newfies took of for Alberta a while
They traded their rubbers and the warm worsted(?) caps
For rodeo boots and big Calgary hats

Repeat Chorus

Now , the saltwater cowboy is new you'll agree
It seems we've created a new kind of breed
With our boots and our hats and our talk about oil
We even talk Newfie in a soft-Texas style

Repeat Chorus

You're still just a Newfie in a Calgary hat.

You might think its goofie, but the man in the moon is a Newfie
And he's sailin on to glory, away in the golden dory....x2

Codfish Dan from Newfoundland he dreamt that he had tree wishes
And he took mars and all the stars and he turned them into big fishes
He said the sky was much too dry and he made a wavy motion
And the moon like a boat began to float upon the starry ocean
Chorus:
And you might think its goofy...

One night he strayed to the milky way to cast his nets upon it
He spied the tail of a great big whale and he harpooned Haleys comet
He never had a pot for the fish that he caught so he had to use the big dipper
And the sun by jove was a very good stove for cookin up smelts and kippers
Chorus:
Now the northern lights that seem so bright like nothin could be grander
Well they're just waves that the moon-boat made by the Newfoundland Commander!
And don't you sigh and say oh my "What gross exagerration!"
Cause he'll tell you the dream was true when Codfish Dan awakens
Chorus:
And you might think its goofy but the man in the moon is a Newfie....
