No more money, now the fish are gone
Government says, baby, there must be something wrong
The Newfie Blues, baby, it's real bad news
Shades* of Smallwood, think I'll burn my boat...
Chorus
Going to Toronto, got to get my "stamps"
Drinkin' city water, always gives me cramps
Comin' back in the fall, got to get my moose
I'm a bog trottin' Newfie with a gun, that's on the loose
Chorus
Smallwood gave away Churchhill Falls
Peckford grew cucumbers in the fog
Hibernia is worse than Come by Chance
And the Ocean Ranger ate my cousin Lance...
Chorus
ooh ya, do do do, ooh ya
Newfie Blues, baby, the Newfie Blues
Newfie Blues, baby, the Newfie Blues
Catch a hold this one, catch a hold that one
No more left, so what's ya gonna do now
ooh ya, do do do, ooh ya
* Smallwood was rumored to be an "Orangeman"
