Biografía:
Shanneyganock are one of Newfoundland’s most identifiable bands. They've been a fixture in the local and traditional scene for almost a decade.
Shanneyganock was never really like any other band on the Atlantic scene: they don't make videos or dress in Queen St. fashions, they don't have a light show, and they don't worry about their 'image'.
They are big, burly men who know the meaning of hard work and the power of music to transcend all trouble.

Great traditional Newfoundland song in 6/8 time.
Capo III
Chorus between each verse.
G D G
C
It's been some years ago
G
Since I left from my island
D
To go to the mainland,
G C G
Like the old folks would say;
C
As I walked up the gangway
G
And I stood on the starboard
D
And I gazed on the harbour
G C G
On a grey foggy day.
(Chorus)
C
Summer days they were warmer then
G
When we laughed with the old fishermen,
D
And they cursed when the fog rolled in,
G C G
Then they made up the hay;
C
It's been more than a long, long time
G
Since I held you and called you mine,
D
And we waited for the sun to shine
G C G
On a grey foggy day.
C
To wake in the early morn
G
To the sound of the old fog horn,
D
And wait for the men to return
G C G
With their boats in the bay;
C
All these things I don't see no more
G
When I lived on the old cape shore,
D
And I gazed on the boats on the moors
G C G
On a grey foggy day.
C
Summer days they were warmer then
G
When we laughed with the old fishermen,
D
And they cursed when the fog rolled in,
G C G

C
It's been more than a long, long time
G
Since I held you and called you mine,
D
And we waited for the sun to shine
G C G
On a grey foggy day.
C
And as long as my heart don't break,
G
From those old memories,
D
Old lovers and old used-to-be's,
G C G
I'll come home to stay;
C
I can still hear the ocean roar
G
Through the hills on the old cape shore,
D
There are no fishing boats anymore,
G C G
But it's a grey foggy day.

And I pray that the sun will shine ....
G C G
On this grey foggy day.
