I'Am sailing down the summer wDind
I've got whiAskers on my cEhin
And I liDke the mood I'm Ain
As I while away the tDime of day
on the leAe of Christian IsEland
ATall and strong she fools and reDels
I Acall her "Silver Eheels"
And she tDells me how she fAeels
She's a good old boat 'n she'll sDtay afloat
thru the touAghest gail 'n keep smEilin
But for oAne more day she would lDike to stay
in the E7lee of ChristianA Island
I'm sailing down the summer day
Where fish and seagulls play
I put my troubles all away
And when the gate comes up,
I'll fill my cup with the whiskey of the highlands
She's a good old ship 'n she'll make the trip from the lee of Christian Island
(hum a verse)
Tall and strong she slips along
I sing for her a song
And she leans into the wind
She's a good old boat 'n she'll stay afloat thru the toughest gail 'n keep smilin
When the summer ends we will rest again in the lee of Christian Island
When the suAmmer ends we will rDest again
in the lE7ee of Christian IslAand
