The Fleur de Lys Song

Come all you friends and neighbours, I'll pray you'll lend an ear
My story about my native home, the one I love so dear.
My story about my native home, a place in Newfoundland
A place where you can live and love, where you can be a man.

Well I travelled across this great land of ours, across the waters blue
From Newfoundland to B.C. boys, I loved it all quite true
And there's something about this land of ours
Something that you should see
As I sit at the point of the harbour way down of Fleur de Lys.

Well my great grandfather lost his life, he lost it to the sea
But that never stopped my family from taking care of me
Yes, I did love my fishin' boys way out of Fleur de Lys.
It was good enough for God's great son and it was good enough for me.

So here's to Conway's Head boy's and here's to Silvey's Ground
And here's to Pigeon Island Point and here's to the marks they found.
And here's to the Jiggin' Ground, where they rowed out young and old
As I sit at the point of the harbour, the stories are bein' told.

Yes, I salute those heroes in this great land of ours
Yes, I salute those boys from home who fought in two world wars.
They gave their lives, they gave their love, all for this country
They gave it to my children so that they might walk free.

Yes, I think I'll go on living way off Fleur de Lys
And I think I'll stay and do the things where my people want to be
And when I die and go to sea, that's where I know I'll rest
And I'll pray to God He will send me home
To the place that I love the best.
To the place that I love the best.
