Back


Well known Newfoundland country singer/songwriter Albert Sheppard singing 'Ghost of a Newfie Boy'. This popular hit song was written by his brother, songwriter Carl Sheppard. The music and the lyrics are provided for entertainment and educational purposes only. Ghost Of A Newfie Boy I was born on the Island on the East Coast Where sea gulls fly low over the glistening bay I can almost hear the sea wrens calling Come home my boy and see us all some day I thought that I left home in search for freedom Till one day I grew up to be a man In my dreams I see and hear him calling The ghostly boy who walks the shores of Newfoundland. I close my eyes at times and see him calling Along the shore that's where he's longed to be His only family there are all the sea gulls Flying low above the shining Sea The days will come I know I'll go and see him And walk along the shore where we once played I know that my heart always belonged there In that distant land so very far away. As a lad I always wanted to be a fisherman That's what my Dad intended me to be But poverty and desperation overtook us I left my home my friend the shining sea The only time I feel near is when I'm with them Or hear a song that brings back memories And often times all I ever do is wonder Is there any place on earth I'd rather be. Now I'm wed, I have a wife and four children And all my love is gathered by my side My time in this far place is finally over I think I'll go back home and find that boy again Yes, I think I'll go back home and find myself again.
