[A]
[D]
Many years have gone by since I left my fortune [A] bay home, full of dreams and ambition as a young man I wanted [D] to roam.
But now things are different, I'm older and wiser [G] I guess, and [A] I'd love to return to that homeland that I love [D] the best.
My friends and relations, I miss them more every [A] day, and in dreams I go back to my childhood down in old fortune [D] bay.
I see a picture of Orange Gull and it brings a tear to my [G] eye, for I [A] know she stands guard over the birthplace of this new-fee [D] boy.
And [G] I'd leave Bishop Powell's and head down that Bader's Fair [D] road, there's a lump in my throat son, cause I know that I'm heading [A] home.
[D] And when I reach St.
Jack's I know everything is [G] alright, I got [A] two miles to go and I'll be in Ballorum [D] tonight.
That
[A]
[D]
old fisherman's lodge is now a modern day [A] home, the roads they are paved and them old fishing schooners are [D] gone.
That old church looks the same as it did when I sang in the [G] choir, the [A] orange lodge gave us music till the lounge on the government [D] wharf.
The Dory's made way for the faster and modern [A] speed boat, as you walk around town you'll not see a sheep, cow or [D] goat.
The steamers don't call here, they are a thing of the [G] past, now [A] it's home don't visit, my things are changing so [D] fast.
My memories may fail me, but I feel like a king when I [G] say, [A] I'm a proud Newfoundlander from Ballorum down in old Fortune [D] Bay.
And [G] I'd leave Bishop Powell's and head down that Bader's Fair [D] road, there's a lump in my throat son, cause I know that I'm heading [A] home.
[D] And when I reach St.
Jack's, I know everything is [G] alright, I [A] got two miles to go and I'll be in Ballorum [D] tonight.
[A] Just two miles to go and I'll be in Ballorum [D] tonight.
