A Sailor's Christmas Lyrics - Christmas Island - Jimmy Buffett

Sail on the horizons gotta landfall rendezvous 

Captain steers a well-known course, he steers straight & true 

As he trims the sheets, he sings a song 

He learned on boats and bars 

Sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour 'neath the stars 

He's traveled through the doldrums, typhoons and hurricanes 

He's logged a million soggy miles with water on his brain 

But Christmas is the season better suited for dry land 

He'll tell some lies, meet some spies 

And dance barefoot in the sand

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour on the hook 

Caye con les, no work today, let's shell the ol' log book 

The waterfront is reveling, the season has begun 

The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun. 

There's a party down at Le Selecte, music, rum and cheers 

Faces in the shadows, God, I haven't seen for years 

A mast & shroud fill with lights 

'Neath the waning of the moon 

They're an airy celebration in the realm of King Neptune. 

The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour on the hook 

Caye con les, no work today, let's shell the ol' log book 

The waterfront is reveling, the season has begun 

The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun. 

Jesus was a fisherman who walked upon the sea 

The North Pole is ocean's remote frozen balcony 

The continents keep drifting but the children sing and play 

'Cause nothing really matters, after all it's Christmas day

Vaye con les, no work today, he read it in a book 

The waterfront is reveling, the season has begun

Havin' fun... havin' fun... havin' fun
