Tom T. Hall - St. George Isle lyrics

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 ( sax ) 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... Out of St George Isle...
