  • As a newfie, Great Big Sea does a way better job than Jim Payne & Fergus O'byrne. They are only good live since they came to my school. I much prefer Great Big Sea.

  • being a screeched in honourary newfie i have the uttermost respect for all newfoundlanders. They are the best people they will give the shirt off your back and treat you like family:) God bless Newfoundland. I'm from Nova Scotia and i'm a proud bluenoser and we all get on really awesome here in the maritimes:)

  • but its still by them!!! but not origionally by them!!!!!!!!!!

  • like like like!

  • love this song ^_^

  • "Not my song, belongs to them and the record company, so on."

    They didn't write this.

  • Cappers are Newfies that couldnt make the swim across. There the wanna be Newfies hahaha Long Live NFLD!

  • @Drifter873 we built the causeway so the newfs could keep goin an stay off our island though lol

  • @jezx21 No wonder theres not very many Cape Bretoners haha

  • they do a good job with this,another group who's version you may like is a renaissance faire group called EMPTY HATS

  • I love this song. Ever since the first time I ever heard of Great Big Sea this has been one of my favorite's

  • im heading out to nova scotia, newfoundland and labrador, and PEI later this summer and know matter what i can never get enough of it out there... ontario gets kind of boring so i kinda want to live there some day

  • I'm from NS, hope to get to see these guys in PEI next month <3 It would be awesome.

  • I LOVE this song and GBS! My dad is from Newfoundland, and he ALWAYS played GBS when i was a kid. And I still listen to it! My friends think im crazy to listen to this... guess I'm just a true Newfie <3

  • oh! This was the lullaby my mum sang to me! wow, i never knew GBS covered this. They just kick ass in every meaning of the phrase, don't they?

    this and Jolly Roving Tar are my favourite GBS songs. I don't think those songs get enough credit <3

  • The greatest song ever. Nova Scotians and Newfoundlanders can't hep but listen to this over and over. At least that's how i feel.

  • no place like home!

  • damn, i miss home so much, when a newfie is brought up on the mainland for too long a part of them can die, but thats what come home year is for right everyone?

  • im not a newfoundlander even tho m couzins live there but i live no were near water in ontario n i hav love this band n its style of music my whole life n i hope they hav many more songs to come

  • thats my ideal life right there, always on the water, your skin crackling from the salt and sun

  • a very calming song id say

  • @footballlover1dl cape breton island is great. i love newfs too. born in inverness and grew up in port hawkesbury. livin out west now tho...miss the ocean somethin bad

  • to be fair people from NS and people from NFLD are not that different, but being a newf myself ya that is kinda funny,

  • ...you call yourselves 'newf'?

  • hell's yeah...

  • @Littleredtoaster

    Yes, we Newfoundlanders call ourselves 'Newf' or 'Newfie'. Just a shorter way to say 'Newfoundlander'.

  • @Littleredtoaster

    Yes, we Newfoundlanders call ourselves 'Newf' or 'Newfie'. Just a shorter way to say 'Newfoundlander'.

  • @Littleredtoaster of course, we newfies have been called many different things. Many of those names we gave to ourselves.

  • Newf? Doubt your really from da rock

  • @SuicideandHappiness

    I find it depends on what part of NS. Capers and you Newfies are pretty similar while the people on the South and French Shores aren't like you guys at all. Us in the middle well, you guess is as good as mine :)

  • @SuicideandHappiness

    your name is awesome. lolol cyanide and happiness.
