Marie Christine, ©1968 by Gordon Lightfoot  

Now have you seen the lighthouse shining from the rock
Or 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 and 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 'tis you
                                           
When I first saw Marie Christine and the woman that she was
I signed aboard to man her sails with honor held her course
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
Or 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
