Treat Her Like a Lady 
From the Jimmy Buffett album _Volcano_ 
By: Jimmy Buffett, David Loggins  
1979  
 
Chorus:  
            C 
Some of us sailors call her home  
 
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty  
            F                    Dm7 
Some of us sailors call her our own  
 G                       G7 
Guess that's the reason why  
                    C   Am 
I treat her like a lady  
                       F    Dm7 
Just treat her like a la -- dy  
 
     C 
Now I don't like the sound of the ground movin' 'round  
                          F 
Or winds spinnin' out of control  
     G                        G7 
California earthquakes, only seem to make a' me  
                    C 
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
