Grey Foggy Day - Shanneyganock - Lyrics ,

Been some years ago
Since I left from my island
To go to the mainland,
Like the old folks would say;
As I walked up the gangway
And I stood on the starboard
And I gazed on the harbour
On a grey foggy day.
Summer days they were warmer then
When we laughed with the old fishermen,
And they cursed when the fog rolled in,
Then they made up the hay;
It's been more than a long, long time
Since I held you and called you mine,
And we waited for the sun to shine
On a grey foggy day.
To wake in the early morn
To the sound of the old fog horn,
And wait for the men to return
With their boats in the bay;
All these things I don't see no more
When I lived on the old cape shore,
And I gazed on the boats on the moors
On a grey foggy day.
Summer days they were warmer then
When we laughed with the old fishermen,
And they cursed when the fog rolled in,
Then they made up the hay;
It's been more than a long, long time
Since I held you and called you mine,
And we waited for the sun to shine
On a grey foggy day.
And as long as my heart,
Doesn't break from those old memories,
Old lovers and old use-to-bes,
I'll come home for to stay;
I can still hear the ocean roar
Through the hills on the old cape shore,
There are no fishing boats anymore,
But it's a grey foggy, foggy day.
Summer days they were warmer then
When we laughed with the old fishermen,
And they cursed when the fog rolled in,
Then they made up the hay;
It's been more than a long, long time
Since I held you and called you mine,
And we waited for the sun to shine
On a grey foggy day.
And I pray that the sun will shine ....
On this grey foggy day.

I work in a fish plant here on the island. Sometimes people will just break out singing this song for no apparent reason and it never fails to make me happy.

[@itslizziebaby]

The Newfounlounders who were stuck in the airport singing this song brought me here. Beautiful song and happy people!!

[@krystalmorrison6679]

Me too. :)

[@brianhoffe9935]

Thank you Liza. I suggest watching music and friends😀

[@horrorfan413]

I listen to this song because it reminds me of my pop because this was his favorite song before he died three years ago

[@CowboyAxe]

That is life here, a song cures all.

[@swimtothemoon11]

These wholesome sentiments are exactly why I love going to the comments section on KZbin! 😊🇨🇦

[@tomdesroche5089]

i have been to newfoundland six times to visit an aunt and uncle and have always wished since that i would have been born there.Great culture and the people are the best and true to the heart.

[@kiskiasko1]

My nan used to play this on the radio from one of her cassette tapes when I was younger. I love you nan, I miss you.

[@Cupcakesxo101]

I am a Newfie and I am proud to be one and I LOVE this song!!!!!

[@hershogwhite]

[@apscoradiales]

Reminiscing about home...While Newfoundland is not my home, I still think about my home, and miss it very, very much. Memories are hard to quash. Beautiful song...

[@KidFresh71]

This song has deep meaning to me. My grandfather was good friends with Eddie Coffey - mutual respect of two Newfoundland legends.

[@skaface32]

everybody was good friends with coffey....just the way it worked

[@isaacgillard3972]

Absolutely adore this song cant wait till July when I go visit the rock

[@monkeynuts1084]

I’m from the main land but my mothers side of the family is Newfie. I used to visit Newfoundland a lot, my mom works here in Halifax so I don’t go back there often anymore. When I was younger I would take trips with my grandmother to Roseblanche in Newfoundland and she would always put this song on in the car. I’m 15 now and my grandmother has gotten sick a few years ago restricting her from travelling. I forgot all about these old songs she would always put on in her car when we drove. This is the first time I heard this song since I was younger and it’s bringing back memories and vibes from the past. I don’t know what the future will hold for my family but I hope I get to go back there eventually.

[@stevenpeters2397]

My mother is a Newfoundlander too I’m from pei Can’t get to NGOs enough was there four years ago hope to go back next summer

[@squidsquaw]

Praying for your sweet grandma...

He's my cousin & I disagree ! I've heard a few versions that do it way better even though he wrote the song !

You're not a true Newfie if you haven't listened to some band sing this in a baseball field

[@kubilaykirmizi]

Sounds like melody is stolen from "que sera sera"

[@arctichare8185]

Actually it is not the same melody as Que Sera, however it's a very common waltz tempo use in many many songs.

[@nozecone]

I wouldn't say 'stolen' - but, yeah I think Que Sera, Sera every time I hear it.
