Waltzing With Bears is in the database. I know because I got a copy some time ago. I have heard different attributions as to who wrote it. I was also told it was based on Dr. Seuss but I can't remember the poem.

Here's a Newfie song I like as a kid.

MY FATHER'S OLD SOU'WESTER

Memory often brings me back To when I was but a lad,
And the boats came in from fishing And I ran to greet my Dad,
He'd take his old sou'wester off And throw it ashore to me
I'd put that old hat on my head How happy I would be.

Chorus: My father's old sou'wester, He wore in days gone by
And every time he put it on His face would beam with joy
It reminds me of those happy days Those happy days of old
I would not part with that old hat for the full of it in gold.

He wore it every Sunday He never liked a cap
He wore it every Monday When he went to haul the trap
He wore it in the sunshine, He wore it in the rain
On a Sunday or a Monday He wore it just the same

(Chorus again)

If that old hat could only speak What stories it would tell
It would tell you of the many times He fought the raging swell
It would tell you of the happy times Out on the squiddin' ground
Wherever that my father went It was perched up on his crown.

(Chorus again)

And now he's dead and laid to rest He'll wear it nevermore
For there's no stormy weather Out on that distant shore
He said to me before he died "There's one request I"ll make:
Take my old sou'wester And wear it for my sake.

(Chorus again
