the moon-man newfie

Tom Connors


 DG
 You might think it's goofy
 A7D
But the man in the moon is a Newfie
 GA7D
And he's sailing on to glory, away in the golden dory
 GA7D
He's sailing on to glory, away in the golden dory

Codfish Dan, from Newfoundland
 AD
He dreamt that he had three wishes
And he took Mars and all the stars
 AD
And turned them into big fishes
He said the sky was much too dry
 AD
And he made a wavy motion
And the moon like a boat began to float
 AD
Upon the starry ocean

Chrorus

One night he strayed to the Milky Way
 AD
To cast his nets upon it
He spied the tail of a great big whale
 AD
And he harpooned Halley's Comet
He never had a pot for the fish that he caught
 AD
So he had to use the Big Dipper
And the sun, by jove, was a very good stove
 AD
For cooking up smelts and kippers

Chorus

Now, the Northern Light that seem so bright
 AD
Like nothing could be grander
Well, they're just waves of the moon-boat made
 AD
By the Newfoundland commander
And don't you sigh and say, "Oh, my
 AD
What gross exaggeration!"
'Cause he'll tell you the dream was true
 AD
When Codfish Dan awakens.

Chorus
