Christian Island |
|
I'm sailing down the summer wind |
|
I got whiskers on my chin |
|
And I like the mood I'm in |
|
As I while away the time of day |
|
In the lee of Christian Island |
|
Tall and strong she dips and reels |
|
I call her Silver Heels |
|
And she tells me how she feels |
|
She's a good old boat and she'll stay afloat |
|
Through the toughest gales and keep smilin' |
|
But for one more day she would like to stay |
|
In the lee of Christian Island |
|
I'm sailing down the summer day |
|
Where the fish and seagulls play |
|
I put my troubles all away |
|
And when the gales comes up I'll fill my cup |
|
With the whiskey of the Highlands |
|
She's a good old ship and she'll make the trip |
|
From the lee of Christian Island |
|
Tall and strong she slips along |
|
I sing for her a song |
|
And she leans into the wind |
|
She's a good old boat and she'll stay afloat |
|
Through the toughest gales and keep smilin' |
|
When the summer ends we will rest again |
|
In the lee of Christian Island |
