Chuck Gillespie Edisto
There's an ol' beach I love
Down in the South
I could spend endless summers
In that rented house.
The shells on the shore
They're speakin' to me
So loudly and clearly
Like the roar from the sea.
Chorus:
The shrimpin' boats go sailing by.
The dolphins in their wake.
The kids are out, they're waiting for
The biggest of the waves.
You and I are soakin' in
The sunshine's golden rays.
It's summertime in Edisto today.
There's a wind blowin' in.
A storm in the sky.
We should take cover until it blows by.
The shrimpin boats' go sailin' by
The dolphins in their wake.
Clouds above have lightning, strikin' on the waves.
Family gathers inside til' the storm blows away.
It's summertime in Edisto today.
Bridge:
Others go to Hilton Head
Or maybe Myrtle Beach.
We've got it right here: a Carolina retreat.
There's an ol' beach I love
Down in the South
I could spend endless summers
In that rented house.
The shells on the shore
They're speakin' to me
So loudly and clearly
Like the roar from the sea.
Chorus:
The shrimpin' boats go sailing by.
The dolphins in their wake.
The kids are out, they're waiting for
The biggest of the waves.
You and I are soakin' in
The sunshine's golden rays.
It's summertime in Edisto today.
Darkness fills up the sky.
Stars are shining tonight.
The moon is dancin'
The Atlantic tonight.
Another day slips away,
We wish it good night.
It's Endless Summer
In Edisto tonight.
