Im sailing 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 gales and keep smilin
But for one more day she would like to stay
In the lee of christian island

Im sailing down the summer day
Where the fish and seagulls play
I put my troubles all away
And when the gales comes up Ill fill my 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 gales and keep smilin
When the summer ends we will rest again
In the lee of christian island
