No dungaree jumpers wear

All ready to your hand

For there blows some cold
Nor 'westers on the banks
of Newfoundland
We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her

with holy stone and sand

And we'll think of them cold

Now rattle their enemy,

we're bound for America's shore
C

Go wash the mud off that

C
So now it's reef and reef, me boys,
Am
G
with the canvas frozen hard
Am
And it's mountain pass every
C
mother's son
Am
on a 90 -foot topsoil yad
C
Never mind about boots

and oil skins,
G
but holler you'll be damned

And now we're off the hook, me boys,
G
and the land's all white with snow
Am
But soon we'll see the pay table
G
C
Am
end up all night below
C
And on the docks come
Am
down in flocks
G
them pretty girls will stand
Am
Saying it's snugger with me
G
than it is at sea
C
Am
on the banks of Newfoundland
C
Am
So we'll scrape her and we'll scrub her
C
G
With holy stone and sand
Am
For while we're here we can be there
Am
On the banks of Newfoundland
