Im sailin down the summer wind I got whiskers on my chin And I like the mood Im 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 Shes a good old boat and shell stay afloat Through the toughest gail and keep smilin But for one more day she would like to stay In the lee of Christian Island Im sailin down the summer day Where fish and seagulls play I put my troubles all away And when the gail comes up Ill fill me cup With the whiskey of the highlands Shes a good old ship and shell 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 Shes a good old boat and shell stay afloat Through the toughest gail and keep smilin And when the summer ends we will rest again In the lee of Christian Island And when the summer ends we will rest again In the lee of Christian Island
