Christian Island (Georgian Bay) lyrics

by

Gordon Lightfoot



[Verse 1]
I'm sailin' 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

[Verse 2]
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 gale and keep smilin'
But for one more day she would like to stay
In the lee of Christian Island

[Verse 3]
I'm sailin' down the summer day
Where fish and seagulls play
I put my troubles all away
And when the gale comes up I'll fill me 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

[Verse 4]
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 gale and keep smilin'
When the summer ends we will rest again
In the lee of Christian Island
[Outro]
When the summer ends we will rest again
In the lee of Christian Island
