A Newfoundland Christmas song about wishing to be back home for Christmas. THEYâLL BE ON THE ROCK THIS CHRISTMAS words and music by David Kai ©1997 Theyâll come from far as Whitehorse and as close as Sydney Mines, Theyâre packing up their suitcases and their boxes tied with twine, Theyâre getting on those airplanes, Dash 8s and DC 9s, Driving to the ferry docks and theyâre waiting there in line. And they'll be on the Rock this Christmas, where stars shine twice as bright, They'll be on the Rock this Christmas, greeting mummers every night, Yarning âround the wood stove, eating partridgeberry pie, And Iâll be wondering âWhy, oh why arenât I?â âCause Iâll be in the factory, pulling double overtime, No one wants the Christmas shift so I guess that makes it mine, Late tonight Iâll light a candle in my lonely room, And think of those who are traveling home, âcause I know that very soon, That they'll be on the Rock this Christmas, where stars shine twice as bright, Yeah, they'll be on the Rock this Christmas, greeting mummers every night, Yarning âround the wood stove eating partridgeberry pie, And Iâll be wondering âWhy, oh why arenât I?â Iâve got to get there somehow, this poor soulâs just too homesick, My busted car wonât take me far, but my thumb will do the trick. Iâll call the boss from Port aux Basques, hope heâs in the mood to see, âThough I may choose to leave the Rock, itâs the Rock that wonât leave me. And I'll be on the Rock this Christmas, where stars shine twice as bright, Yeah, I'll be on the Rock this Christmas, greeting mummers every night, Yarning âround the wood stove, eating partridgeberry pie, And no more wondering âWhy, oh why arenât I?â Optional extra chorus: And we'll be on the Rock this Christmas, where stars shine twice as bright, Yeah, we'll be on the Rock this Christmas, greeting mummers every night, Yarning âround the wood stove, eating partridgeberry pie, And no more wondering âWhy, oh why arenât I?â Tag: No, no more wondering âWhy, oh why arenât I?â.
