[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 ol' boat and she'll stay afloat
Through the toughest gale and keep smiling
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 the fish and the seagulls play
Put my troubles all away
When the gale comes up, well, I will fill my cup
With the whiskey of the highlands
She's a good ol' 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 ol' boat and she'll stay afloat
Through the toughest gale and keep smiling
When the summer ends we will rest again
In the lee of Christian Island
When the summer ends we will rest again
In the lee of Christian Island
