Marie Christine

Chorus:
Have you seen the lighthouse shining from the rock
Or the ship Marie Christine and all her gallant lot
Have you seen the lighthouse, oh we are close to land
Cried the brave young captain to his wretched men
Have you seen the harbour cried Marie Christine
Have you seen the jagged rocks in the waters in between
Have you seen the lighthouse, oh save me if you can
If you do I'll promise you I'll never sail again
Have you seen the lighthouse shining from the rock
Cried the brave young captain to his wretched lot
Then gather all your photographs and don your coats of blue
If anyone can save us now Marie Christine 'tis you
Chorus
When first I saw Marie Christine, the woman that she was
I signed aboard to man her sail and with honour held her course
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
Chorus
