Lyrics
There's a new small Rose in Newfoundland
Pink as the sunset sky
With rosebud lips and auburn hair she's sure a beauty boy
Come here til i show you her little hands and feet
A little jewel a gift from God the rose of newfoundland.
Yes Shara Marie is a gift to me from the rocks of Newfoumdland
Oh Shara Marie so pretty is she and just a few days old
Patterened after an angel of God from Heavens perfect mold
I'll forever see in my inward eye a miracle brought by birth
and i thank the Lord for his blessings all that He's given me here on earth
Yes Shara Marie is a gift to me from the rocks of Newfoundland
As days go by I'll take her down to the bif wharf by the sea
and share the rollin swells and rocks, the breakers and the trees
I wouldn't trade her for the world a treasure that's hard to beat
Someday she'll know the love we share my newfoumdland rose and me
Music repeat
As days go by -------
