I have sailed her ocean waters from the north and to the south.
There are lots of things that I don't know but I know without a doubt.
That no matter where I travel, no matter where I roam.
This Island we call Newfoundland will always be my home.

Chorus: This Island is my home, she's home sweet home to me.
From rugged shore to rugged shore anchored in the deep blue sea.
And when my days are over you'll know just where I'll be.
Wrapped in the arms of her embrace that's where they'll bury me.

I have seen the snow capped Rockies in the middle of July.
I've seen the wheat filled prairies across a clear blue sky.
I've watched the dolphins swimming in the Caribbean Sea.
But there's one place in this whole world that means the world to me.

Chorus
I have felt the ocean breezes from the Gulf of Mexico.
Been to the Rio Grande in the town of Del Rio.
I have tasted crystal waters from a Yukon mountain stream.
But my final rest in her caress will be my final dream.

This Island is my home, she's home sweet home to me.
From rugged shore to rugged shore anchored in the deep blue sea.
And when my days are over you'll know just where I'll be.
Wrapped in the arms of her embrace that's where they'll bury me.

Wrapped in the arms of her embrace that's where they'll bury me.
This Island is my home.
