foot topsail yard nevermind about boots and oilskins but holler or you'll be damned But there blows some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland. We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her with holy stone and sand, And we'll think of them 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 whole night below; And on the docks, come down in flocks, those pretty girls will say, Ah, It's snugger with me than on the sea, on the Banks of Newfoundland. We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her with holy stone and sand, And we'll think of them cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland.
