Christian Island (Georgian Bay) - Gordon Lightfoot

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

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 gail and keep smilin'

But for one more day she would like to stay

In the lee of Christian Island

I’m sailin' down the summer day

Where fish and seagulls play

I put my troubles all away

And when the gail 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

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 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
