Portland

(chorus) Well I've just got back from the Portland shore, Where the weather is rare and the people more. But I take my chance on working abroad. On the strange and lonely Island. (verse 1) So I answered an ad about working with stone, within a couple of weeks they called me on the phone They said come work with us and we'll give you a home, On a strange and lonely Island (chorus) Well I've just got back from the Portland shore, Where the weather is rare and the people more. But I take my chance on working abroad. On the strange and lonely Island. (instrumental break) So I worked really hard while breathing Portland air, Cutting Portland stone with hardly a care The boss told me , that I belonged there, On a strange and lonely Island. (chorus) Well I've just got back from the Portland shore, Where the weather is rare and the people more. But I take my chance on working abroad. On the strange and lonely Island. (bridge) So I married a girl , that's how my story goes, my child was born with a mouth, a heart, two ears and a nose, But I wasn't expecting the feet with six toes, On a strange and lonely island. (chorus) Well I've just got back from the Portland shore, Where the weather is rare and the people more. But I take my chance on working abroad. On the strange and lonely Island. On a strange and lonely Island (finish) (chorus) Well I've just got back from the Portland shore, Where the weather is rare and the people more. But I take my chance on working abroad. On the strange and lonely Island. (bridge) So I married a girl , that's how my story goes, my child was born with a mouth and a nose, But I wasn't expecting the feet with six toes, On a strange and lonely island.

On a strange and lonely Island (finish) On the strange and lonely Island.
