Lyrics: 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 |
