The THOMAS COLES COLLECTION
OUT OF OL' DORSET

Some are offended by the word Newfie, some blame it on the Americans during WW 2, 
but it has it's roots in Dorset and most likely harkens back to Elizabethan times. 


OUT O' DORSET

'Tis out o' Poole we been set forth;
The wind it came from East by North
With main long way to roam.

The Channel seas be steep and green
And cold the billows in between
When we sets out from whoam.

For some do go to smuggling tea,
Or gets cut out to piracy
When they goes out to sea;

But Newfie Land's our distant bourne
For good salt cod this honest morn.
Pray whoam again we see!

O may God's hand a-succour we;
Our safeness and good haven be,
So we from sea return.
End
