Yippy yie o kie yay Lord Howe Island You’ve got me back again To the blue lagoon And your shining sands To feel the ocean arise And swallow the sun At the end of day Silver moonlight runs Cross the blue and green Young lovers are one I spend my time Thinking of fishing line Or memory calls Me to the mountain climb Hear the providence petrel cry Above the Lower Road See the stone thats thrown To the water below Over the saddle Only get up to go Yippy yie o kie yay Yippy yie o kie yay Where friends are true As the sky is blue Cause a person is known By what they say and do I must go back, fly away Cause my heart is calling like flowers for rain Every tree can be counted Every cow has a name Yippy yie o kie yay Yippy yie o kie yay Lord howe island Your in my thoughts again From a young boy of four To only god knows when I’ll see all your changes To mountain and palm As nature rearranges your magic charms The warmth of summer And the winter storms Yippy yie o kie yay Yippy yie o kie yay Yippy yie o kie yay
