Banks Of Newfoundland
Me bully boys of Liverpool
And I'll have you all beware
When you sail on them packet ships,
No dungaree jackets wear
But have a big monkey jacket
All ready to your hand
For there blows some cold nor'westers
On the banks of Newfoundland
Chorus:
We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her
With holy stone and sand
For there blows some cold nor'westers
On the banks of Newfoundland
We had Jack Lynch from Ballynahinch
Mike Murphy and some more
And I tell you boys, they suffered like hell
On the way to Baltimore
They pawned there gear in Liverpool
And sailed as they did stand
But there blow some cold nor'westers
On the banks of Newfoundland
Chorus:
We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her
With holy stone and sand
For there blows some cold nor'westers
On the banks of Newfoundland
Now the mate he did stand on the fo'c'sle head
And loudly he did roar
Come rattle her in me lucky lads,
You're bound for America's shore
Come wipe the blood off the dead man's face
And haul or you'll be damned
For there blow some cold nor'westers
On the banks of Newfoundland
Chorus:
We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her
With holy stone and sand
For there blows some cold nor'westers
On the banks of Newfoundland
So now we're off the hook me boys,
And the land is white with snow
And soon we'll see the pay table
And we'll spend the night below
And on the docks, comin down in flocks,
Those pretty girls will say
It's snugger with me than on the sea,
On the banks of Newfoundland
Chorus:
We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her
With holy stone and sand
For there blows some cold nor'westers
On the banks of Newfoundland
Margens de Newfoundland
Meus rapazes de Liverpool
E eu quero que todos fiquem espertos
Quando vocês navegarem nesses barcos de carga,
Não usem jaquetas de macacão
Mas tenham uma jaqueta bem quente
Pronta na mão de vocês
Pois sopra um frio do noroeste
Nas margens de Newfoundland
Refrão:
Vamos esfregar e limpar
Com pedra sagrada e areia
Pois sopra um frio do noroeste
Nas margens de Newfoundland
Tivemos Jack Lynch de Ballynahinch
Mike Murphy e mais alguns
E eu digo pra vocês, rapazes, eles sofreram pra caramba
No caminho pra Baltimore
Eles penhoraram suas coisas em Liverpool
E navegaram como estavam
Mas sopra um frio do noroeste
Nas margens de Newfoundland
Refrão:
Vamos esfregar e limpar
Com pedra sagrada e areia
Pois sopra um frio do noroeste
Nas margens de Newfoundland
Agora o imediato estava de pé na proa
E ele rugia alto
Venham, rapazes sortudos,
Vocês estão a caminho da costa americana
Venham limpar o rosto do homem morto
E puxem ou vocês vão se ferrar
Pois sopra um frio do noroeste
Nas margens de Newfoundland
Refrão:
Vamos esfregar e limpar
Com pedra sagrada e areia
Pois sopra um frio do noroeste
Nas margens de Newfoundland
Então agora estamos livres, meus rapazes,
E a terra está branca de neve
E logo veremos a tabela de pagamento
E vamos passar a noite abaixo
E nos cais, descendo em bandos,
Aquelas garotas lindas vão dizer
É mais aconchegante comigo do que no mar,
Nas margens de Newfoundland
Refrão:
Vamos esfregar e limpar
Com pedra sagrada e areia
Pois sopra um frio do noroeste
Nas margens de Newfoundland
