I grew up on the northern part of the island, 
                           A           E 
I learned to love her, and hate her as well. 
                         A           E 
Been on my mind now, for such a long time, 
                            A         E 
I'm longin' to see her, and someday I will. 
 
Verse
                        A          E 
Harbours and inlets all a-long the shoreline, 
                         A         E 
Fishing boats tied up to community piers. 
                            A              E 
They're built by people who lived in those small towns, 
                          A           E 
Most of those families no longer live there. 
 
Chorus
         A                        D           A 
Well I'm proud of the people from old Newfoundland, 
E                       A              E 
Many's a hardship, they all took their stand. 
   A                    D               A 
We got Voisey Bay and a Churchill Falls plan, 
E                              A   E 
Tobin they say you're the man, so, stand up and fight for our land.

Verse
                         A          E 
My Dad was a workin' man all of his life, 
                            A         E 
A job that he hated, that's how he survived. 
                            A              E 
Things they weren't easy he said we'll get by,

Half the man he is, I can hold my head high.

And my Mom was a working woman, handing out mail, 
                         A           E 
From Monday to Sunday it never would fail. 
                         A           E 
Church Sunday morning or late in the night, 
                                 A           E 
She'd hand out your letters with heartfelt delight.
