 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.
 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.

 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.
