Dougie’s in the South Island In Hickory Bay Catch me when I’m falling Or slipping (Slipping) away
Coffee and I’m yawning Whitebait by the side of the road Walking to Invercargill We hate to see you go
Seas grew dark and the waves grows high My broomstick mind is flying me Still I wish, I wish that rather soon, I’d be under Pohutukawa trees
Here comes Dougie, he’s overheating At a motel by the side of the road Piha to find a mother We hate to see you go Captain saved by a dolphin Out of the golden dawn The road you travel goes forever Anywhere and evermore
