Stompin' Tom Connors - Man Moon Newfie lyrics

rate me

You might think it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie

He's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory

Cod Fish Dan from Newfoundland, he dreamt that he three wishes

And he took Mars and all the stars, and he turned them into big fishes

He said they sky was much to dry, and he made a wavey motion

And the Moon like a boat began to float upon the starry ocean

You might think it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie

He's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory

Sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory

One night he strayed to the Milky Way, to cast his nets upon it

When he spied the tail of a great big whale, and he harpooned Haley's Comit

He never had a pot for the fish that he cought, so he had to use the Big Dipper

And the sun by Jove was a very good stove, for cooking up Smelts and Kippers

And You might think it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie

He's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory

Sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory

The Northern Lights that seemed to bright like nothing could be grander

Well they're just waves of the moon boat made by the Newfoundland Commander

And don't you sigh and say "Oh my, what gross exaderation"

He'll tell you the dream was true when Cod Fish Dan awakens

You might think it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie

He's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory

You might think it's goofy, but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie

He's sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory

Sailin' on to glory, away in the golden dory
