Gushue Gold
(The Islander – Bruce Moss)
I’m
a Newfoundlander born and bred
And
I’ll be one till I die
The
Gushue rink brought home the gold
And
that’s the reason why
They
had to beat Team
They
had such great command
Now
we’re so proud that we can say
That
they’re from Newfoundland
Brad
started down this road to gold
In
He
held his head high even though
He
did not reach first place
One
thing that he did not know
Russ
Howard would begin
To
help to raise his spirits up
To
be on top again
Mark
Nichols is from
Mike
Adam is from there too
They’re
life long friends who love to curl
On
the team we call Gushue
Jamie
Korab is the lead
He
hails from Harbour Grace
He
loves to play this Golden game
It’s
tattooed on his face
Mike
Adam has the biggest heart
That
you have ever seen
He
stepped aside to let Russ play
To
realize their dream
Toby
is the master
With
harmonica in hand
He
coached his team to beat them all
On
top is where they stand
When
Brad and crew went to the Trials
Some
said they had no chance
If
Another
should advance
Brad
played them all
He
would not fall
Russ
Howard took command
Now
On
the boys from Newfoundland
The
final game against Markku
Brad’s
heart began to race
Six
yellow stones sat in the house
One
more he tried to place
As
he threw his final stone
His
heart beat through his chest
He
knew that he had won the gold
We
now call them the best
When
Brad
gathered with his team
They
hugged each other on the ice
They’re
eyes began to gleam
Brad
stood a spell
He
grabbed a cell
One
voice he’d hear alone
Looking
to a camera said
Mom pick up the phone
I’m
a Newfoundlander born and bred
And
I’ll be one till I die
The
Gushue rink brought home the gold
And
that’s the reason why
They
had to beat Team
They
had such great command
Now
we’re so proud that we can say
That
they’re from Newfoundland
Now
we’re so proud that we can say
That
they’re from Newfoundland
