I'se the B'y
Traditional, Newfoundland This song is available on Michael Mitchell's Canada is for Kids: Volume 1. The people of Newfoundland are fun-loving people who create wonderful songs about their everyday life. One of their most famous songs tells the story of a fisherman who goes out to catch fish and take them home to his wife, Liza. They have a unique way of talking in Newfoundland and sometimes use words and phrases that you would never hear anywhere else in the world.
I'se the b'y that builds the boat
And I'se the b'y that sails her I'se the b'y that catches the fish And takes them home to Liza Hip your partner Sally Thibeau Sods and rinds to cover the flake I don't want your maggoty fish I took Liza to a dance
This song is available on Michael Mitchell's Canada is for Kids: Volume 1. Many thanks to Michael Mitchell for permission to display these lyrics.
