Straight down from Greenland,
Across the sea it did fly
The seas and the clouds,
Both piled up high
The TV-man says he thinks
It's best we take care
That we be going if
We needs getting anywhere
Stock up the fridge laddies
We'll be drinkin for days
The wind raged from the north
For two days and two nights
Left this Town under
Three inches of ice
Cars they wouldn't move,
Couldn't even walk
Nothing to do but to
Stay in and get crocked
Come on in brave laddies
We'll be drinkin for days
Young Fienney says
"Come girls, lets play a hand"
And Crazy Mary she is smilin',
She is rolling up a gram
With our pints in our hands,
Aye its early I know
with ne'er a thought 'fore actin',
Kick back and just let go
Sit ye down now laddies
We'll be drinkin' for days
Some was laughing, some was crying,
Someone threw up on the floor
And we girls all had a round
Or two at playin' the whore
Pay no heed to the wind
Nor the rain nor the snow
Aye there's nine empty cases,
But there's nine more to go
Fetch us a pint brave laddies
We'll be drinking for days
The gale was something awful,
Pulled the shingles from the roof
There's snow in the bedroom
If you want some proof
I hope it breaks soon boys,
If not I do fear
It will not be too long
Till we run out of beer
Care for a rum laddies
We'll be drinking for days
They say the sun is shinin' now
Out at cape Spear
They say it was the meanest blow
In many a year
A new day is dawning, bright
And clean and mighty fair
But we're still sitting here
Lookin for our underwear
with our heads achin' laddies
We've been drinkin' for days
