[00:00.000]Welcome to the townies and the come from aways
[00:02.840]Welcome to the locals who have always said they'd stay
[00:05.270]My father's father's father crashed his ship into this rock
[00:07.870]Heaven and hell don't matter much 'cause it's here I'm stuck
[00:10.520]Welcome to the rock Welcome to Newfoundland
[00:13.200]It's farther to Manhattan than it is to Ireland
[00:15.630]They say no man's an island but an island makes a man
[00:18.190]Especially when one comes from one like Newfoundland
[00:20.940]I'm an islander I am an islander …
[00:23.680]I'm an islander I am an islander …
[00:26.260]I'm an islander I am an islander …
[00:28.800]I'm an islander I am an islander …
[00:31.380]Welcome to the wildest weather that you've ever heard of
[00:34.060]Where everyone is nicer but it's never nice above
[00:36.360]'Cause it's mauzy or it's misky or it's muddy or it's scad
[00:38.980]And when it's finally sunny it's a sign it's getting bad
[00:41.770]Welcome to the rock Welcome to Newfoundland
[00:44.320]The drunkest fellas in the room are playing in the band
[00:46.800]Welcome to the farthest place you'll get from Disneyland
[00:49.500]Fish and chips and shipwrecks this is Newfoundland
[00:54.20]
[01:12.870]Welcome to the land where the winters tried to kill us
[01:15.150]-And we said -We will not be killed
[01:18.180]Welcome to the land where the waters tried to drown us
[01:20.400]-And we said -we will not be drowned
[01:23.260]Welcome to the land where we lost our loved ones
[01:25.480]-And we said -We will still go on
[01:28.500]Welcome to the land where the winds tried to blow
[01:30.800]And we said no
[01:32.900]In the winter, from the water through the wind
[01:38.000]If a stranger ends up at our door
[01:42.320]We welcome them in
[01:47.400]We welcome them in
[01:53.000]I am an islander
[01:54.200]Welcome to the cod and to the trees and to the fog
[01:56.500]And to the ferries and the berries and the failing fisheries
[01:59.000]And to kitchen parties to the ones departed
[02:00.600]In our hearts we know you'll never
[02:01.900]Leave this little bit of heaven where we started
[02:04.260]To the down and the out of town on quads
[02:06.500]And thanks to God we are the poorest but the richest where it counts
[02:09.500]And to the St. John's girls with their sails unfurled
[02:11.800]To our friends at the end of the world we say
[02:14.000]Welcome to the rock!
