Newfie Girl - Dick Nolan - Lyrics ,

- Well, I left Toronto city on a train eastward bound,
Headed for Newfoundland and my own hometown;
I fell asleep in a coach car as the rain was pouring down,
Goin' home to marry me a Newfie girl.
Then I woke up in that ol' car - the sun was shining through,
I had a vision, love, I thought that I saw you;
You were standin' right in front of me and set my heart a-whirl,
Goin' home to marry me a Newfie girl.
Well, I changed trains in Montreal, headed down Nova Scotia way,
To get the William Carson to take me across the bay;
I was so happy I heard myself say,
I'm goin' home to marry me a Newfie girl.
At last I'm in North Sydney, I think I'll have a beer,
I can see the William Carson tied up at the pier;
I'll have to save five dollars to pay the man my fare,
I'm goin' home to marry me a Newfie girl.
I guess around about midnight when we got under way,
I figured on six hours to take me across the bay;
And then I went into the lounge to pass the time away,
Goin' home to marry me a Newfie girl.
Well, I must have drunk quite a few 'cause the time it sure went fast,
And when I walked up on the deck I could see old Port Aux Basques;
And I heard someone say we'll soon be home at last,
Goin' home to marry me a Newfie girl.
My heart started beating faster as I stepped on Newfie soil,
I felt a glow all over and I broke into a smile;
I know the trip's not over yet, it'll be another while,
Goin' home to marry me a Newfie girl.
Well, I've been gone so long, my friend, I didn't hear the news,
They say the Bullet's off the line - the bus we'll have to use;
So, let's get started right away, we've got no time to lose,
Goin' home to marry me a Newfie girl.
Then I woke and realized this wasn't happening to me,
For I had been in Kingston since 1983;
But when I serve my time, my friends, and they set me free,
I'll go home and marry me a Newfie girl.

The song was actually written by Bill Sweeney, who was known for years on the VOCM Open Line call in shows as The Moon Man
+Dr. Romulus Cthulhuwitz Was that before or after Ron Pumphrey had the VOCM Open Line?
Alan Batterman Before
The original version said 1963. This one says 1983. But, by 1983, the Bullet had already been off the line for quite a while. So he would have known.
+Alan Batterman also by 1989 the Carson had sunk
Yes, it went down on Friday, June 3, 1977, if I remember correctly.
you are correct
And the fare was a lot more than five dollars in the '80s
You do good job on Newfie girl
I was widowed a year and a half ago. Might be time for me to get off my dead arse and go find a Newfi girl.
😊😊😊😊😊😊
He said Toronto where turning red is set
How sad! Dick Nolan was a great singer in his earlier days. This is a remake and he lost that wonderful voice. There are so many differences between this song and the original, for example, he sings.. for I've been in Kingston since 1963, in this one he uses 1983, but that's really no a problem, it's the fact that he can't sing now. Have you ever heard the original. I have a copy, but the file is bad or I'd upload it. I guess the file is bad because the lp was very scratchy.
Wow, not many visits to this great song and I know it's not because it's a bad version. I left a comment two years ago explaining why it's not very good; but I suppose if you have never heard the original, you'd never know the difference. Have you heard it? I have it; but it's so scratched up that I won't upload it, still, it's better than this one.
Yee Ha! I think I located the original version of this song. If I have, I'll upload it then you can hear the difference. But probably not, because it appears you have not responded to even one comment people have asked you.
Can you upload a video of "I Married a Newfie" also by Dick Nolan?
Here's to the Newfies!!!
