(G)
Tall
and strong she dips and (C) reels
I
(G) call her Silver
(D) Heels
And she
(C) tells me how she
(G) feels
She's a
good old boat and she'll (C) stay
afloat
Through
the (G) toughest
gales and keep (D) smiling
But for
(G) one more day she would
(C) like to stay
In the
(D) lee of Christian
(G) Island
I'm
sailing
down the summer day
Where fish
and seagulls play
I put my
troubles all away
And when
the gale 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
When
the
summer ends we will rest again
In the
lee of Christian Island
