Great Big Sea - I'se The B'y Lyrics

Who's Liza?

HOW DOES SHAZAM KNOW MY NEWFOUNDLAND MUSIC?!? 😂😂😂😂

i can't decide if i love or hate it.

I love this swong sins I was 2

I lived in Newfoundland for two years when I was a little kid (my Dad was in the U.S. Navy). Many decades later we were talking about living there and he was telling me about Newfie culture, accents etc. and he remembered this song from the one Newfie TV channel.

You do good job on ise da bye my favourite jig

177 people dont want their maggoty fish...

Sam Oliver?! WHAT DID U DOOOOOOOOOO

My father is Newfie and my mom is Cape Bretoner and I have cape Bretoner accent

Does this band do similar sea shanty type of songs or are these just covers?

Nan use to play that on the Accordion when I was little, she's from Petty Harbour 1895!

Is there a dance to this, I few there should be a dance to this

Omg my music teacher 👩‍🏫 teached me this song

My pop made this song

Wow that’s cool

My class is doing it’s the by for CBC music

So glad to be a Newfie

Oh. My. Goodness.

I found this song in my band book, I looked at the title and mentally said "I've heard that song before" so I looked it up. Now I remember, I learned this song in like 2 or 3rd grade music. This is great.

Recently seen on BBC tv sung by Catherine Ryan's mum.

They copyright struck a public domain song

When our daughter was very little, we saw a friend bringing home some fish. Our daughter announcedthat he must be taking them home to “Lizer”

Anthem of Newfoundland

Thank you Newfoundland, very cool!

"Ya better get'yer arses back to da house by'da time jigs is done by's or I'll fuckin flatten ye'all"
-aunt rita

Maggoty butter?

I like it thats why im here. And if you dont like it then just stfu and don't listen to it again. Thanx

I sang this as part of choir one year I was the only girl singing the the part about taking Liza to the dance

I still remember this song from over 30 years ago, grade school music class. This song cracked me up so much that I could not stop laughing; the teacher was a little irritated that I kept disrupting class, haha. But this song stuck in my head all these years.

I love this song so much❤❤❤😄😄❤😄❤😄❤😄❤😄😄❤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

Never been further from ON than Pictou, NS. Always wanted to go down to NF. Anybody here kiss the cod before?

We sing this in music class. I can sing this really good in the class.

No no no I'se the B'ye. Get her straight lad.

I could swear I heard "Tim Hortons" in the lyrics.

Newfoundland for life!

I"s the buys, not I's the boy. What a poser disgrace

My nana loved this song but she past away last year.

Good memories of grade 4 in 1980 LOL!!

Lets go newfies grew up with these songs

I’m board

Fucking grade 3 hoe ass teacher playing this bull shit everyday. fuck

Doesn't sound like great big sea

Newfoundland needs to be free from empire and monarchy

I mean I'm an Ontarian, but we can all get along, can't we?

both of my parents where from Newfoundland but I was born and raised in Toronto we go back every six months or so (summer and Christmas) and I am still unsure of what the hell I am my identities clash like you wouldn't believe, but at least get fun music at family gatherings!

I always hear my nanny and poppy sing this and i didnt get it. 15 years in life i decided to look up what it is....now all i can picture my nanny stomping and going in circles

newfie life

I lives in Newfoundland bhy best place on eart

what is this half-newfie half-somewhere else shit? What will be next? I'm 1/16th irish, 1/20th black, and so on? Do you think your ancestors said oh i'm half irish, half greek? NO! they were from where they were from. So... you born and raised in Newfoundland YOU ARE NEWFIE. we are all part this and part that. Go watch that ancestor dna show on pbs or whatever it is... we are all mixed. And if you can claim to be a newfie... cheers!!

Every true Canadian knows this

Iconic Canadian song

This song is addicting

Oh my God that’s brilliant we are singing that song in Coris however ours is more calm I would much rather sing this version

I happy I'm a Newfie 😌

Hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha

Cool now

My Dad told me about this song and Newfie culture many yrs ago because when I was about 4 yrs old we lived in Newfoundland for one year (he was in the U.S. Navy). This is the first ever hearing it.

My brain is having a hard time comprehending what is being said.

newfies where ye at bhy?

where ye to and what are ye at?

If your Newfie like!

i love it

I am from St.Johns Newfoundland

One of my favourite places in the world!

55 years ago, I was a USAF Radar Technician, stationed at the Stephenville, Newfoundland 640th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron. My wife, Gail, gave birth to our son, Keith, at the Ernest Harmon AFB Hospital. It wasn't until a few years ago, reading "Fate is the Hunter", I discovered a number of aircraft had collided with the mountainside below our radar station in bad weather. While we weren't fond of the winter weather, Gail and I will never forget the fishing song, "I'se The B'y".

It's just so catchy

Ever hear how a newfie counts seven seafish?

“One, two, tree, and anuder one, and anuder one, and two nuder ones.”

I lo ve it

great song no matter what other people say

I'm from all the way on the other side of Canada (British Columbia) yet I grew up with this song and nothing can take away what it means to me haha

Was discussing old songs we sang in elementary school (Vancouver, Canada). This one stuck our whole lives, and this is the first time I've every googled it.

right onnn

i's the b'y 👍🏻

Yeah, this isn't Great Big Sea... great tune though.

I sang this in Elementary school! It's such a fun song.

I'm from nova scotia and listening to stuff like this and seeing how people react to it reminds me just how much us Atlantic Canadians are all bunch of sailors. At least in heart :P

Oh, You Live In Canada To? Well I Live In Ontario :3

I'm from Halifax, the Paris of the maritimes. Lol

While trying to sing my newborn to sleep, from the deep recesses of my memories, from kindergarten in Toronto, this crazy song comes up and I am singing and I can't for the life of me remember all the words but he is enthralled by the tune and breaks into a little smile. I miss Canada. What a wonderful country (but the taxes are too high).

TWELVE YEARS SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG. Back in middle school Robert Munsch the author sang this song in my school gym here on ontario. Im having the hairs on the back of my neck stand up

YOU MET ROBERT MUNSCH?

Brad H Yup.

Amen i remember those good old days in the 90s

This a southern Ontario type tale

I don't know why I'm here but I have a joke.
How do you spot a gay Newfie?

Born in China, raised in Ontario, and I CANNOT escape this song for some reason, it seems to be everywhere I go

Born in Canada. From a jewish family. Mostly from Russia. But no matter how much I consider my past. This is my true past. I come from Canadian fisherman. And I'm proud of it

Yushan Cong it seem like it's a requirement in school!

YOU HAVE TO GO BACK
