AmI was Gdriving down FNinth AvenCue
AmAs the Gsky was Fgetting Cdark
AmDidn't Ghave nothin' Felse to Cdo
AmSo I kept on Griding to FBattery CPark
AmI stepped out Gin the damp and Fmisty Cnight
AmAs the Gfog was Frollin' Cin
AmMan said, "GLast boat Fleaving tonCight
AmIs the boat for GEllis FIslanCd

AmAs my Gfeet touched Fsolid Cground,
AmI felt a Gchill run Fdown my Cspine
AmI could Galmost Fhear the Csound
AmOf thousands Gpushing Fthrough the Clines
AmMothers Gand bewilFdered Cwives
AmThat sailed Gacross the Fraging Csea
AmOthers Grunnin' Ffor their Clives
AmTo the land Gof FopportuCnity
AmOh down on GEllis FIslanCd
BbWhat is this strange Fparadise
AmThey must've wondered through the Fcries and moans
BbAfter all they Fsacrificed,
Their Gmfaith, their families, Bbfriends and Amhomes F C
AmThen on the GseparatiFon Cstairs
AmThey wereG counted out, or Fcounted Cin
AmFrozen Gwhile the Finspector Cstared
AmDown on GEllis FIslaCnd
AmOh down on GEllis FIslaCnd
BbWho-o-oFh Am yea-a-aFh

AmNow me I Gonly Fstumbled Cin
AmJust to Gwander around that Fempty Chall
AmWhere someone eGlse's Ffate had Cbeen
AmDecided Gin no tFime at aCll
AmCases Gfilled with Fhats and Cclothes
AmAnd the Gbelongings of those who Fjourneyed Cfar
AmThey're strange Greminders FI suppoCse
AmOf where we're Gfrom and Fwho we Care
AmBut as the Gboat pulled Foff the Cshore
AmI could Gsee the fog was FliftCing
AmAnd lights GI'd never Fseen Cbefore
AmWere shining down on GEllis FIslanCd
AmShining down on GEllis FIslanCd
