A Sailor's Christmas
2
(Jimmy Buffett, Roger Guth)
3
A sail on the horizon's got a land fall rendezvous
4
The captain steers a well known course he steers her straight and true
5
As he trims the sheets he sings a song he learned on boats and bars
6
"A sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour 'neath the stars"
7
He's traveled through the doldrums, typhoons and hurricanes
8
He's logged a million soggy miles, with water on his brain
9
But Christmas is the season better suited for dry land
10
He'll tell some lies, meet some spies and dance barefoot in the sand
11
Chorus:
12
A sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour on the hook
13
Cali, Calais no work today, let's shelve the old log book
14
The waterfront is reveling, the season has begun
15
A sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun.
16
There's a party down at Le Select all music, rhum and cheers
17
Faces in the shadows, I haven't seen for years
18
The masts and shrouds are filled with lights 'neath the waning of the moon
19
There's an air of celebration in the realm of King Neptune.
20
Chorus:
21
Instrumental bridge
22
Jesus was a fisherman who walked upon the sea
23
The North Pole is the ocean's remote frozen balcony
24
The continents keep drifting but the children sing and play
25
Cause nothing really matters after all it's Christmas day
26
Chorus
