(Yeah, woo-oh-oh!)
Hey, hey, let’s go!

[Verse 1 ]

She played a hand drum down at Doc Morgan’s bar (hey!)
Tappin’ out a rhythm underneath the stars (woo!)
She asked me where I’m from, I said “Not too far,”
But tonight, this whole world’s ours
We took a ferry ride from Snug Cove to the moon (hey!)
Her laugh was a melody, a sweet Bowen tune (woo!)
By Killarney Lake, ‘ccompanied by the loons
I swore I’d see her again real soon

[Pre-Chorus ]

We were swayin’ down Bowen Bay
With the salt and cedar in the air that day
She stole my heart in a West Coast way
And I just had to say…

[Chorus ]

I met a Bowen Island girl, with her bare feet on the pier (hey!)
She danced like the tide rolls in, and the whole world disappeared (woo-oh-oh)
From Artisan Square to Tunstall Bay, she’s got my soul in a whirl (hey hey!)
Oh, my Bowen Island girl, yeah, my Bowen Island girl

[Verse 2 ]

We shared a sunset up on Mount Gardner’s crest (hey!)
The ocean spread wide, the sky was dressed (woo!)
In pink and gold, we just sat and confessed
That this island’s magic, and so’s the rest
We grabbed a coffee at the Snug CafĂŠ
Talked about the ferry that’s late most days
She laughed out loud in that Bowen way
And I knew I just couldn’t stay away

[Pre-Chorus ]

We were swayin’ down Bowen Bay
With the driftwood bonfire keeping night at bay
She stole my heart in a West Coast way
And I just had to say…

[Chorus ]

I met a Bowen Island girl, with her bare feet on the pier (hey!)
She danced like the tide rolls in, and the whole world disappeared (woo-oh-oh)
From Artisan Square to Tunstall Bay, she’s got my soul in a whirl (ho ho!)
Oh, my Bowen Island girl, yeah, my Bowen Island girl

[Bridge]

Now every ferry ride (ride!) I’m thinking of her eyes (eyes!)
Every path through the forest, every painted sky (sky!)
From Deep Bay to Eagle Cliff, I’m hypnotized (woo!)
By that Bowen Island girl in the moonrise (moonrise!)

[Chorus ]

I met a Bowen Island girl, with her bare feet on the pier (hey!)
She danced like the tide rolls in, and the whole world disappeared (woo-oh-oh)
From Artisan Square to Tunstall Bay, she’s got my soul in a whirl (hey hey!)
Oh, my Bowen Island girl, yeah, my Bowen Island girl

[Outro ]

Bowen Island girl… (hey hey hey)
Yeah, my Bowen Island girl… (hey hey!)
