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"
