作词 : Wince Coles 作曲 : Wince Coles I remember the time when my grandpa and I Would sit by the fire at night And I listened to stories of how he once lived By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. He said Mom and Dad send me off to school Where I learned how to read and to write And they listened for hours As I read from my books By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. Your grandma and I we were wed at 16 Lord she was a beautiful sight And proudly I placed the ring on her hand By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. About one year later, your daddy was born And your grandma held my hand so tight On I cant tell the joy as she brought forth new life By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. But having her child, it did weaken her so She just wasnt up to the fight For she looked so peaceful she went to her rest By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. Then as now the times they were hard To succeed you would try all your might And sometimes love bloomed and sometimes dreams die By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. Shes made from wood But shes no ordinary boat sir Cut in the fall Seasons til mid winter is over See her high round bow And shes all tuck-ed under And from stem to stern Shes our Newfoundlands wonder I hear her one lunger pumping And I look to see her Disappear under the crest of a swell between us And she rises like a warrior To writhing lots of sunder And they see two men Who lay down under Where lonely men Whose days be numbered We owe our lives To the gifts from the water And for boats that go Come back some never But for all the boats that go They are Newfoundlands wonder For all the boats that go They are Newfoundlands wonder
