archie fisher - western island lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
i came to a western island as far as a man can walk is my land
i cleared ten acres and a house i built into the side of the hill

[verse 1]
the roof leaks, the windows rattle, and the gr-ss in the high ground won’t feed cattle
the west wind blown off the sea makes it hard to grow a tree

[verse 2]
one cow and a lean-to bier, a spring close by and a driftwood fire
a clear view of the settin’ sun and a 12 gauge hammer gun

[verse 3]
i keep sheep, i fish deep water in a high bowed boat called the neptune’s daughter
she will ride any western gale and can carry a stack of sails

[verse 4]
some nights when the bright lights fl!cker i sail to the mainland for my liquor
i haven’t got a woman to call my own, but i never wake up alone

[verse 5]
a man needs to fell the ground and the wind to tell him the world spins round
to watch the stars and taste the sea, and a woman to keep him free

[chorus]
i came to a western island as far as a man can walk is my land
i cleared ten acres and a house i built into the side of the hill
