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 

[ 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...
