This Land They Call Labrador

I have walked on the sand

In this land they call Labrador

I've charted the claim block of the VBNC

And I've seen northern gales

As they battered the shore

I hope the coast  guard makes charts

Of the Labrador sea

I have travelled this land

With the help of Air Labrador

From Goose Bay to Cartwright

From Postville to Nain

From Davis to Hopedale

Makkovik and Rigolet

Then on to Wabush

And it's back home again

I've seen the Fraser River canyon

And I've seen the Mealy mountains

I've seen beauty in Emish

And the shores of Sango Bay

It's hard to imagine this place full of dust

But the nickle is needed

So the iron  won't rust

I have been to the land

Where the caribou roam

I've watched Minke whales

From a rock by the shore
Where the bear and the wolf

And the otter call home

I will always remember

This wild Labrador

I have made lots of friends 

In this land they call Labrador

The Webbs and the Dickers

And the Andersens too

The Michels and Penashues

The Whites and Ashinis

To the Karpiks and Flowers

This song is for you

I've seen the Fraser River canyon

And I've seen the Mealy mountains

I've seen beauty in Emish

And the shores of Sango Bay

It's hard to imagine this place full of dust

But the nickle is needed

So the iron won't rust

Here's to Lorraine and Lesley

Angie and Sharron

Josee and Brian

And Charley and Sam

And last but not least

Here's to Robbie and Peter

Farewell and nakummek

Until we meet again

Here's a toast to the people

Who came here before us

To future generations

What will we leave

For what good is our gold

Our money won't save us

If we poison the air

And the land and the sea

I've seen the Fraser River canyon

And I've seen the Mealy mountains

I've seen beauty in Emish

And the shores of Sango Bay

It's hard to imagine this place full of dust

But the nickle is needed

So the iron won't rust

It's hard to imagine this place full of dust

But the nickle is needed

So the iron won't rust

Yes, the nickle is needed

So the iron won't rust
