(C) I got tired of fishin' on the Grand Banks,
(F) Tired of livin' off the (C) dole;
(F) Tired of the Newfie (C) winters,
Where the (D) weather gets blistering (G) cold.
So I (C) came up to Toronto,
(F) Like some Newfies (C) do;
And I (F) got me a job in a (C) factory,
But I (G) miss my fish and (C) brewis.
I got me a call from my father,
He said, (F) son, hold onto your (C) pants;
(F) They struck oil on the farm you own,
And it's (D) bigger than Come-By-(G) Chance.
So I (C) bought me a CP ticket,
One (F) way headin' straight back (C) east;
I (F) went back home to the (C) oil I own,
And I (G) became the Newfie (C) Sheik.
I got a (F) yacht in St John's Harbour,
And a (C) limo like Crosby, too;
(F) All I'm missin' is a (C) harem,
And I'm (D) gonna get me one of them, (G) too.
My (C) maid she does the cleaning,
And she (F) brings my Newfie (C) screech;
(F) Son of a pfft, I (C) struck it rich,
(G) I'm the Newfie (C) Sheik.
[SPOKEN] Eat you heart out, Willie!
Oh, they took me up to Ottawa,
They (F) sure are some real strange (C) folks;
They (F) put me up in a (C) royal suite,
I didn't (D) hear a Newfie (G) joke.
They (C) all got to pattin' me on the back,
They (F) all wanna shake my (C) hand;
But I (F) got the oil and it's (C) under my soil,
And it's (G) staying in Newfound-(C)land.
I got a (F) yacht in St John's Harbour,
And a (C) limo like Crosby, too;
(F) All I'm missin' is a (C) harem,
And I'm (D) gonna get me one of them, (G) too.
My (C) maid she does the cleaning,
And she (F) brings my Newfie (C) screech;
(F) Son of a pfft, I (C) struck it rich,
(G) I'm the Newfie (C) Sheik.
