I's the b'y that builds the boat
And I's the b'y that sails her
I's the b'y that catches the fish
And takes 'em home to Lizer


Chorus: Hip yer partner, Sally Tibbo
Hip yer partner, Sally Brown
Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton's Harbour
All around the circle!


Sods and rinds[2] to cover your flake[3]
Cake[4] and tea for supper
Codfish in the spring o' the year
Fried in maggoty butter.


Chorus:
I don't want your maggoty fish[5]
They're no good for winter
I could buy as good as that
Down in Bonavista.


Chorus:
I took Liza to a dance
As fast as she could travel
And every step that she did take
Was up to her knees in gravel.


Chorus:
Susan White, she's out of sight
Her petticoat wants a border
Old Sam Oliver in the dark
He kissed her in the corner.
 
Its a song we were taught in grade school here in Canada. It's a Newfie song, its their contribution to Canadian culture.

Hey Bread, just last week I found out my nieces husband is from your old country, for the last 10 years I thought he was Jamaican.

I'm stunned, I know two people from the same speck of dirt out in the Atlantic.

The bad news is now I've got that fecking song stuck in my head.

The good news is it bumped out the roadrunner theme song that had been stuck in there since yesterday.

You mean this one?

If you're on the highway and Road Runner goes beep beep.
Just step aside or might end up in a heap.
Road Runner, Road Runner runs on the road all day.
Even the coyote can't make him change his ways.

Road Runner, the coyote's after you.
Road Runner, if he catches you you're through.
Road Runner, the coyote's after you.
Road Runner, if he catches you you're through.

That coyote is really a crazy clown,
When will he learn he can never mow him down?
Poor little Road Runner never bothers anyone,
Just runnin' down the road's his idea of having fun.
