Tom T. Hall - St. George Isle lyrics
[Tom T. Hall - St. George Isle lyrics]
Crossed my fingers made a wish
He flew away to clear blue skies
The way an eagle flies
I saw the sun rise o'er the sea
Through the clouds he winked at me
Brightened up and seemed to say
Here is another day
Out of St George Isle people make you smile
Won't you bide a while out on St George Isle
(sax) i found a penny on the beach
In the sand beneath my feet
Fortune someone had one day and
Let it slip away
Oyster boats in disarray scattered
All around the bay
Makes me think of one complaint I
Wish that I could paint
Out of St George Isle out of St George Isle
