Saint John

The pelicans dove in the turquoise blue
Snapped at a fish and off they flew
And the palm trees bathe in the sun
The dogs and the crickets they moaned all night
The roosters crowed at the morning light
Down in Saint John
And when the night wind whistles through the trees
And the birds sing harmony with the breeze
Then I love this land of sun
When the warm blue ocean clings to you tight
Friends help everything be alright
Well it’s a good time in Saint John
Roaming the island in a cream-colored Jeep
The roads were rocky and the hills were steep
Goats in the road would scatter and run
The sun shine down from the sky all day
The boats and the snorkelers are out in the bay
Down Saint John way
And when the night wind whistles through the trees
And the birds sing harmony with the breeze
Then I love this land of sun
When the warm blue ocean clings to you tight
Friends help everything be alright
Well it’s a good time in Saint John
The steel band’s happy tones hung the air
And laughing people were dancing without care
Islanders and tourists having fun
To be accepted by people you must show that you’re true
But everything is alright once you do, alright
Down in Saint John
And when the night wind whistles through the trees
And the birds sing harmony with the breeze
Then I love this land of sun
When the warm blue ocean clings to you tight
Friends help everything be alright
Well it’s a good time in Saint John
In Saint John
