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.

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.
