Well come gather all around me, there is something you should know
 here is no place quite like this place if we get it on the go
 So pile your boots up in the corner, hang your jacket from the door
       There's thirty people in the kitchen and there's always room for more

Chorus:
Oh-oh-oh
Come on now lets lock the world outside!
Oh-oh-oh
Come on I tell you now she's goin' up tonight!
 

Well there'll be music all around you, you should see the way it feels
 Come on off we go now, heel and toe now, to the jigs and reels
   'Cause somebody's got a fiddle, someone else bought a guitar
   And we got Bobby on the squeezebox, grab a chair and raise a jar

Chorus
 

                Well there'll be smilin', there'll be laughin' and that's good enough for me
           There'll be dancing all around you, this is where you want to be
            So pile your boots up in the corner, hang your jacket from the door
                There's thirty people in the kitchen and there's always room, yes there's always room...

From the first hello you gave to me I've done nothing else but smile
 And I know you're in a hurry, but it's gonna take a while
  So forgive me if we go slow, but there's something I think you should know

Chorus:
I'm going fast as I can, please don't make me rush
 This feeling's coming on way too fast
I'll tell you all of the things that you'll never forget
  But I'm not ready say, "I love you" yet
I'm not ready to say "I love you" yet

Don't push me in too deep, I've always been the fool who rushes in
  You've got to take the pieces one by one before you've got everything
       So forgive me if we go slow but there's something I think you should know

Chorus

              There'll be times when I'm mistaken, there'll be times when we're gonna fight
            but you needn't doubt we can work it out and in time we'll get it right
              So forgive me if we go slow but there's something I think you should know

Chorus

From the first hello you gave to me....

There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari-Mac,
And make no mistakes she's the girl I'm gonna track,
Lots of other fellas try to get her on her back,
But I'm thinkin they'll have to get up early!

Chorus:
Mari-Mac's mother is makin' Mari-Mac marry me,
My mother's makin' me marry Mari-Mac!
Well I'm gonna marry Mari-Mac for my Mari's takin' care o' me,
We'll all be feelin' merry when I marry Mari-Mac!

Now Mari and her mother are an awful lot together,
In fact you hardly see the one without the other,
 And people often wonder if it's Mari or her mother,
Or both of them together I am courting!

Chorus

Well up among the heather in the hills of Banoffee,
I had a bonnie lass sittin' on me knee,
A bumblebee stung me right above me knee,
Up among the heather in the hills of Banoffee!

Chorus

Well a certain bonnie lass and me were gonna spend the day,
Sat among the heather in the hills of Banoffee,
Where all the boys and girls are makin' out so free,
Up among the heather in the hills of Banoffee!

The wedding's on a wednesday everythings arranged,
Soon her name will change to mine unless her mind be changed,
And makin' the arrangements I'm feeling most deranged,
Marriage is an awful undertaking!

Chorus

Sure to be a grand affair grander tha a fair,
Sure to be a fork and plate for every man that's there,
I'll be a bugger if I don't get me share,
If I don't I'll be very much mistaken!

Chorus

There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari-Mac,
And make no mistakes she's the girl I'm gonna track,
Lots of other fellas try to get her on her back,
But I'm thinkin they'll have to get up early!

This song is instrumental  and I don't have the music. Sorry.

I'm sorry if I ruined your day,
I really hope that you'll understand,
I;m a million miles away,
looking for a place to land,

My father phoned me yesterday,
"Your time has come, well done son!"
Tried to think of what to say,
When words came, he'd already gone,

Chorus:
I don't know how I got here,
There must be something to it,
I think I need some time alone,
To work my way through it.
Something To It

the moon is in the sky tonight
not very warm but it sheds some light
ask me now and I just might
let the morning come and tell me if its right

Chorus

soon initial bliss will pass
this precious time might be your last
Like dew upon the morning grass,
good intentions can vanish with the sun

I'm sorry if i ruined your day
I really hope that you understand
I'm a million miles away
looking for a place to land
I'm a million miles away
looking for a place to land

I stayed awake for hours again last night
searching for a reason to keep up the fight
I've made choices I don't regret
I've got problems I don't get

I didn't want to carry the heavier load
You can't always take the middle road
There comes a time when you make up your mind
And the point get left behind

Chorus:
Oh lets wait one more day for the conversation
One more day to make it right
Lets get away from the confrontation
One more day just buying time

For years and years you can drift alone
And write another verse to an endless song
Wait one more day till the time is right
Hoping that you both see the light

You won't see the light!

Chorus

Bridge:
I'm not afraid to sleep alone
I'm not afraid to be alone

Stayed awake for hours again last night
Just searching for a reason to keep up the fight
I've made choices I don't regret
But I've got problems and problems and problems and problems...

I drank sixteen doubles for the price of one
Trying to find the courage to talk to one
I asked her for a dance
Not a second glance
My night had just begun

Well I drink to the father and the holy ghost
I'm kneeling at the alter of my nightly post
So I'll raise a glass, not the first nor last
Come join me in this toast

Chorus:
Because the old black rum's got a hold on me
Like a dog wrapped round my leg
And the old black rum's got a hold on me
Will I live for another day?
Hey, Will I live for another day?

Well the queen of George street just went walking on by
Walking on by with some guy who don't care
That she stood in line
Since half past nine
And spent three hours on her hair (On her hair!)

Well her friend is looking at me with an evil grin
I think the bloody racket might soon begin
I must have said some thing
To the George street queen
The boys are joining in!

Chorus

So I drank all of my money
And I slept out in the rain
Everyday is different but the nights they're all the same
You never see the sun on the old black rum
But I know I'm gonna do it again!

The Chemical Worker's Song (Process Man)
(Angel)

Chorus:
And its go boys go
They'll time your every breath
And every day in this place your two days near to death
But you go...

Well a process man am I and I'm tellin' you no lie
I work and breathe among the fumes that tread across the sky
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair

Chorus

Well I've worked among the spitters and I breathe the oily smoke
I've shovelled up the gypsum and it neigh 'on  makes you choke
I've stood knee deep cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn
Been working rough, I've seen enough, to make your stomach turn

Chorus

There's overtime and bonus opportunities galore
The young men like their money and they all come back for more
But soon your knocking on and you look older than you should
For every bob made on the job, you pay with flesh and blood

Chorus

Well a process man am I and I'm telling you no lie
I work and breathe among the fumes that tread across the sky
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair

Oh me name's Able Rodgers, a share man am I
On a three masted schooner from Twillingate Isle
I've been the world over north, south, east, and west
But the middle of nowhere wheres' I likes it best

Chorus:
Where its wave over wave, sea over bow
I'm as happy a man as the sea will allow
Theres no other life for a sailor like me
And to sail the salt sea boys, sail the sea
There's no other life but to sail the salt sea

Well I leave my wife lonely ten months of the year
For she built me a home and raised my children there
She never come out to bid farewell to me
Or ken why a sailor must sail the salt sea

Chorus

The work it is hard and the hours are long
But my spirit is willing, my back it is strong
And when the works over the whisky will pour
We'll dance with the girls upon some foreign shore

I've sailed the world over for decades or more
And oft times I wonder what I do it for
I dont know the answer its pleasure and pain
But with life to live over I'd do it again

Gone around the harbour gonna get a dose of beer
Gone around the harbour gonna get away from here
Gone around the harbour gonna have a cup of tea
If you see a Billy Peddle tell him I wants he!

Nothing Out of Nothing
(McCann)

I left my home, my family by the ocean
Out on my own, to seek my fortune
There's no work to occupy these young hands
So look out boy! Your heading for the mainland!

Chorus:
And what do you do? Can't make nothing out of nothing
Everybody needs a start
And what do you do? Can't make nothing out of nothing
Give my country back its heart

Now I was born on a St. John's street
Where all my hopes could meet with defeat
I hired my days to higher education
No I'm so smart I could rule this comdenation

Chorus

No I'm alone but I'm working everyday
I'm getting stoned and blowing all my pay
Just to survive I'll do whatever I can
No I'm alive, but I cannot be a real man

The Jolly Butcher
(Trad.)

Chorus:
Oh won't you come along with me love
Come along with me!
Come for one night and be my wife
And come along with me

Well it is of the jolly butcher as you might plainly see
As he roved out one morning in search of company
He went into a tavern and a fair girl he did see
Ah come for one night, be my wife, oh come along with me

He called for liquor of the best
And he makes such fortune play
Come have a drink, it will make us think
That it is our wedding day

Chorus

Well he called for a candle to light their way to bed
And when he had her in the room these words to her he said,
"A sovereign I will give to you, for to embrace your charms"
And all that night, that fair young maid, lied in the butchers' arms

Chorus

Oh, Early the next morning be sure it went his way
He looked unto that fair young maid and unto her did say,
"That sovereign that I gave to you, do not think me strange,
Well that sovereign that I gave to you will you give me back me change!"

Chorus

Well about a 12 months later he roved out once more
And he went into the tavern where he'd often been before
He wasn't in there very long when his fair maid he did see
And she brought forth a baby three months old and placed it on his knee
When he saw the baby, he began to curse and swear
And he said unto that fair young maid, "Why did you bring him here?!"
"Well he is your own, kind sir", she said, "Do not think me strange,
Well that sovereign that you gave to me, I gives you back your change!!"

Rant & Roar
(Trad.)

Chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Newfoundlanders
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
Until we strikes bottom inside the two sunkers
When straight through the channel to Toslow we'll go

I'm a son of a sea cook, I'm a cook in a trader
I can dance, I can sing, I can reef the main boom
I can handle a jigger, I cuts a fine figure
Whenever I gets in a boats standing room

Chorus

Farewell and adieu to ye young maids of Valen
Oderin and Presque, Fox Hole and Bruley
I'm bound for the westward to the wall with the hole in
I can't marry all or a chokey I'll be
