Out of work I took a job as a
Hand on a boat
In a town called Matlache
On my first day off I was
Sitting drinking beer
At a bar called the dock of the bay
When in walked a woman
That every man eyed
But her eyes stayed right on me
The guy next to me he
Whispered real low
There's more to her than you can see
She comes from the back bay
Better stay away
She lives up on the back bay
And then he moved on away
Well she came and sat down
And the hours flew by
And the beer flowed just like the tide
The sun went down and the moon came up
And there was fire in her eyes
She took me for a ride in the white moonlight
In a boat like I’ve never seen
As the bay flew by the sky was alive
I was seeing things that I've never seen
