There is a tale that the Island people tell

And they wanted him to sing on the island near and far

                           A           D

He was makin' his way home on a dark and stormy night

When he heard a cry for help, he saw a flashin' light

                                           A             D

They tossed him in the ocean 'ause their hearts were made in Hell
Came along a dolphin, he said, "Jolly Mon hello!
D                                     A                 D

The night was filled with magic, they bid the sea goodbye

D                                A                D
They swam into the heavens, they stayed up in the sky

D
And all the Island people when they wish upon a star

D                                     A                    D
