[Verse]
G C G
Going out to the cod trap used to be our lifestyle,
C G D G
Hauling on jigger lines made a day's pay.
C G
'Till the fisheries minister allowed foreign trawlers,
C G D G
To forsake our waters and drag jobs away.
[Chorus]
D C G
So, we left for the mainland, missing the island,
C G Em D
Living on odd jobs that we chose to toil.
G C G
But the rock's in our souls, when we die just one favour,
C G D G G C G C G D Dsus4 D G
Bury our bodies in Newfoundland soil.
[Verse]
C G
We left our homeland way back in the eighties,
C G D G
Leaving the island was so hard to do.
C G
In search of an income we came to the mainland,
C G D G
Sacrificed friendships and families, too.
[Chorus]
D C G
So, we're out in the mainland, missing the island,
C G Em D
And living on odd jobs that we chose to toil.
G C G
But the rock's in our souls, when we die just one favour,
C G D G G C G C G D Dsus4 D G
Bury our bodies in Newfoundland soil.
[Verse]
C G
And the oil companies came with the world's largest drill rigs,
C G D G
Offered a fortune but gave to so few.
C G
Still we flocked to our homeland only to find out,
C G D G
That prayers don't get answered and dreams don't come true.
[Chorus]
D C G
So, we're back on the mainland still missing the island,
