Arlette - Saskatchewan is like Newfoundland lyrics

Saskatchewan is like Newfoundland Wide open rolling waves The sight, the sound, the feel, the smell The salt within their veins The crops and cod are waning On horizons that won't quit The food is still worth raising It just takes a certain grit Eons ago where we walk today They crashed on the beaches ten foot waves And left in my garden for me to find An ancient clam soaked in alkali The colours of the ocean They're like the prairie too The green, the black, the turquoise The yellow and the blue The stone boats and the schooners Will do a job no more The fertile mother ocean Oh, she's just a thing of lore The practice of greed and raping Is not limited to land Legendary grand banks are like Summer followed sand Once the fish were thick there Now they cannot find a one Their families go hungry While others take it by the ton Saskatchewan is like Newfoundland Wide open rolling waves The sight, the sound, the feel, the smell the salt within their veins
