Marie Christine

Have you seen the lighthouse shining from the rock

For the ship Marie Christine and all her gallant lot

Now have you seen the lighthouse

Oh we are close to land

Cried the brave young captain to his wretched band

Now have you seen the harbor cried Marie Christine

Have you seen the jagged rocks in the waters in between

Now have you seen the lighthouse

Oh save me if you can

For if you do I promise I'll never sail again

Now have you seen the lighthouse shining from the rock

Cried the brave young captain to his wretched lot

Now gather all your photographs

And don your coats of blue

If anyone can save us now, Marie Christine 'tis you

When I first saw Marie Christine the woman that she was

I ssigned aboard toman her sails and honor well her cause

I christened her with old champagne

And I drove her to the west

Of all the men who sailed on her, in truth I sailed her best

Have you seen the lighthouse shining from the rock

For the ship Marie Christine and all her gallant lot

Now have you seen the lighthouse

Oh we are close to land

Cried the brave young captain to his wretched band

Come all ye would be sailors

All ye would be sailors

All ye would be sailors

If anyone can save us now, Marie Christine 'tis you

If anyone can save us now, Marie Christine 'tis you
