St. George Isle Lyrics

(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?...
