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.

    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.
