Treat Her Like A Lady

Treat Her Like a Lady From the Jimmy Buffett album _Volcano_ By: Jimmy Buffett, David Loggins 1979 Chorus: Some of us sailors call her home She's big and she's strong and she's mighty Some of us sailors call her our own Guess that's the reason why I treat her like a lady Just treat her like a la -- dy Now I don't like the sound of the ground movin' 'round Or winds spinnin' out of control California earthquakes, only seem to make a' me Shake, rattle, and roll I've been too long on the mainland Hotels, rental cars, and phones Time to cast 'em aside, catch the very next tide And go back, where I belong Chorus: Some of us sailors call her home She's big and she's strong and she's mighty Some of us sailors call her our own Guess that's the reason why I treat her like a lady Treat her like a lady Now great whales travel the rhumb lines Dodging those deadly harpoons Spawning their young, as their ancestors done In the depths of her hidden lagoons There're times I find myself with them And times I feel as they do We're on a similar course, it's just a different source But I'm in danger of extinction too Chorus: Some of us sailors call her home She's big and she's strong and she's mighty Some of us sailors call her our own Guess that's the reason why I treat her like a lady Treat her like a lady Treat her like a lady Treat her like a lady And miss her when I'm gone (Lady, lady) treat her like a lady (Lady, lady) treat her like a lady (Lady, lady) got to treat her like a lady (Lady, lady) treat her like a lady Lady, lady Lady, lady Lady, lady transcribed by Arleen Myers ([email protected]) July 1995
