Quotations
1923
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Newfoundlanders,
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below,
Until we see bottom inside the two sunkers,
When straight up through the channel to Toslow we'll go.
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below,
Until we see bottom inside the two sunkers,
