Marie Christine Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

Now 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 you 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 it is you 

When at first I saw Marie Christine the woman that she was 

I signed aboard to man 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 

Now 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 come all you would be sailors 

All you would be sailors, oh, all you would be sailors 

If anyone can save us now, Marie Christine it is you 

If anyone can save us now, Marie Christine it is you
