Lyrics
(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.
(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)
On the strange and lonely Island.
