And the way you send me, my dear Annie
And when the pipes called
And wi' you and wi' you and wi' you, me Johnny lad
And you know the sun's settin' fast
Another foolish game
Another short hour we wait for the tide
Apple tree he planted more than eighty years ago
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Arise, arise you drowsy sleeper
Around the bay where the partridge berries grow
Around the coast of Newfoundland, brave fishermen reside
Around the last of May, nineteen sixty-four
Arouse ye patriots of Newfoundland

Back home in Trout River where I was born
Back in eighteen ninety-nine everybody sang Auld Lang Syne
Back in eighteen ninety-two, there was a story to unfold
Back in time when coke was a dime, and Maverick was on TV
Back home on the island people are remembering another day
Bakeapple time is here again we're making up a crew
Based on songs and stories heroes of renown
Be ye much of a hand aboard a vessel
Beautiful star of Bethlehem
Been livin' in McMurray now since nineteen eighty-five
Been out two months and the food's running short
Beer, beer, beer, tiddley beer, beer, beer
Being a pirate is all fun and games
Being on the eighth of October last, from Renews we set sail

Bingo and Another World, that's all I ever hear
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Blow out the lamp love, blow out the lamp love
Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly
Blue jacket and white trousers this fair maid she put on
Born in 1900, at the turn of the century
Born in a tenement home, our guts were racked with hunger
Born to the land they say God gave to Cain
Both high and low attention give and quickly you shall hear
Both young and old come ponder what I now relate
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
Boys, did you hear of the shower?
Breaks 'way from harbour two in the morn
Bright is the morning and brisk is the weather
Bright Phoebe was my true love's name
Brightly beams our Father's mercy
Bring down on a bar stool
Bring me back to my home where I first saw the light
Bring on the clowns, the jokers and buffoons
Bring your blueberries down to Job's Store, for ready cash they pay
Bury me not in the deep, deep sea (Rev E H Chapin)
Bury me not in the deep deep sea (Peacock)
Busy city full of talk-back talk, let them talk away
Buy me a round I'll be here for the night
By a fine old mother's side, sat her eldest by her pride
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
By God, it's good to see you
By Peter Kerrivan we are the Masterless Men
By the borders of the ocean one morning in the month of June
By the side of a clear, crystalline river
By the storm torn shoreline a woman is standing
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
