Intro

Verse

 Oh I hear the fifes a playin' high above the misty headlines.

 A-hum the drums are drummin' down the long and briny shore.

 My heart knows what they're sayin' get in step and follow me boy.

 It's a song that they've been singin' for a thousand years or more.

Intro

Chorus

 Oh the rollin' of the sea, is beckonin' to me.

 I say come my son, I'll show you things, you've never seen before.

 Come set your spirit free, on the winds of history.

Hoist your sails, and charge a course, and go out and explore.

 Oh the rollin' of the sea, is beckonin' to me.

Come home to Newfoundland and Labrador-or.

Solo

Bridge

 Well I've always been a rover, I'd never settled down.

 I searched the whole world over, for things I never found.

 Now I hear the ocean callin' with a voice so loud and strong.

Come on back to Newfoundland, that's where you belong.
