[Intro] 
A DNewfie's a Newfie wherever he Ggoes,
It Ddon't seem to matter the cut of his Aclothes,
ThDe gleam in his eye and the way that hGe walks,
AnDd the true Newfie tone in the Away that he Dtalks.
 [Chorus]
Oh, Gby the Lord dyin', by the thunderinD' gee,
How are you doin' you son-of-a- Abee?
You  Dcan't fool your old man by dressin' likGe that,
You're Dstill just a Newfie in a ACalgary Dhat. D  A  G  D  
[Verse]
Now, over Dthe years when things aren't Gthe best,
A lDot of our fellers head out for thAe west;
But Deveryone knows that they ain't gonna Gstay,
They'll Dalways come back those Aupalong Dway.
[Verse]
No one Dsuspected we'd ever have Goil,
The DNewfies took off for Alberta Aa-while;
They Dtraded their rubbers and their warm worsted Gcaps,
For Drodeo boots and big ACalgary Dhats.
[Chorus]
Oh, Gby the Lord dyin', by the thunderinD' gee,
How are you doin' you son-of-a- Abee?
You  Dcan't fool your old man by dressin' likGe that,
You're Dstill just a Newfie in a ACalgary Dhat. D  A  G  D

It Dseems we've created a new kind of Abreed,
With our Dhats and our songs and our talk about Goil,
We Deven talk Newfie in a Asoft-Texas Dstyle.

Oh, Gby the Lord dyin', by the thunderin' Dgee,
How are you doin' you son-of-a- Abee?
You  Dcan't fool your old man by dressin' like Gthat,
You're Dstill just a Newfie in a ACalgary Dhat. 
You're Dstill just a Newfie in a ACalgary Dhat. D  A  G  D
