Christian Island by Gordon Lightfoot

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
