Cupers Cove

John Guy was the man who got it started
He landed here in 1610
It was in the heart of the summer
And the hard work had just began

The tradesmen built a plantation
And prepared for the winter to come
They prayed to God they'd make it
They all worked together as one

In Cupers Cove the sun was shining
In Cupers Cove the time was right
In Cupers Cove our history leads us
To a future that looks so bright

Well they built a bark called the Indeavor
And they sailed her off to Trinity
To make contact with the Beothuks
Their intentions were all friendly

They exchanged gifts and they were excited
For the trade could bring prosperity
Together they broke bread and toasted the future
To Good life peace and harmony

In Cupers Cove the sun was shining
In Cupers Cove the time was right
In Cupers Cove our history shows us
That our future looks so bright

As the years went by we settled out in Burnt Head
In Greenland and in Rip Raps for awhile
They were hardy fisherman and farmers
They did what they could to survive

For 4 hundred years our ancestor's have watched us carry on
We got to keep the old ways & traditions
Before they are lost and gone

In Cupers Cove the sun was shining
In Cupers Cove the time was right
In Cupers Cove our history leads us
To a future that looks so bright
