Now if you come home to Newfoundland
Put aside your city charms
Stop off at the fish plant
In a place called Joe Batt's Arm
As you approach that busy scene
You'll see some fishermen
Ah, but most of all you'll see
The big longliners comin' in
There's Gilbert and The Stella
She's loaded down with skate
Justin and the Endeavor
Where Billy Burke is mate
With their hardy crews and captains
They're the finest fishermen
And the girls are all excited
The longliners are comin' in
For the Joe Batt's Arm longliners
They're comin' home tonight
As they steam up the harbour
You can see their masthead light
With their hardy crews and captains
They're the finest fishermen
And the girls are all excited
The longliners are comin' in
♪
They'll be dancin' at the motel
Until the early dawn
To the finest band at Tilton Club
They're swingin' arm-in-arm
And all those pretty island girls
Are servin' up the beer
But the boys know in the mornin'
They must meet back at the pier
For the Joe Batt's Arm longliners
They're comin' home tonight
As they steam up the harbour
You can see their masthead light
With their hardy crews and captains
They're the finest fishermen
And the girls are all excited
The longliners are comin' in
