Lyrics
I went out to haul me trawl
All I got was nothing at all
I’m packing it up and I’m moving out
I’m going to McMurray
(CHORUS)
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Dum dea diddle dea day
(CHORUS)
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Dum dea diddle dea day
I’ll say good-bye to all me friends
With hopes that I’ll be back again
There’s nothing more I can do
I’m goin’ up with me brudder
(CHORUS)
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Dum dea diddle dea day
The land they say is awfully cold
Seven months of blowing snow
I’ll stick it out and make it though
While I am young and able
(CHORUS)
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Dum dea diddle dea day
The land they say is awfully cold
Seven months of blowing snow
I’ll stick it out and make it though
While I am young and able
(CHORUS)
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Dum dea diddle dea day
They say that I’ll be diggin sand
Squeezing all the frozen land
Tis not the same as taking oil
From livers of a cod
(CHORUS)
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Dum dea diddle dea day
You ask me how I’ll spend me time
Work all day and stay in line
I’ll eat and sleep and roll me smokes
And do it all again boys
(CHORUS)
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Dum dea diddle dea day
I’ll punch me time for twenty years
And I’ll break out and shout some cheers
Goin’ home to Newfoundland
To spend me hard earned money
(CHORUS)
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Dum dea diddle dea day
I went out to haul me trawl
All I got was nothing at all
I’m packing it up and I’m moving out
I’m going to McMurray
(CHORUS)
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Da di diddle die dum dea da da
Dum dea diddle dea day, yeh
