St. George Isle

(Tom T. Hall)



I saw an eagle catch a fish

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?

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

People make you smile

Won't you bide a while

Out on St. George Isle?



Out of St. George Isle

People make you smile

Won't you bide a while

Out on St. George Isle?...
