Ode to Phil - by Capt. Andy Hillstrand - RIP Capt. Phil Harris

RIP Captain Phil Harris.
Song, Ode to Phil, by Capt. Andy Hillstrand
"I'm not that great of a singer," he says, "but when you hear the words and you hear the guitar playing, then you hear what I say ... ... I'm just saying goodbye to my buddy."

I lost a good friend today
Captain Phil, you're on your way
Up to the fishing grounds
Won't have nobody around

Pots full of fishing that's gold
Brand new stories are told
Calm Seas all around
Nobody's gonna set ya down

As the Eagle flies,
Fishing men now don't you cry
Your life is short
Your name lives on
Two boys to carry on

As the Eagle flies,
Fishing men now don't you cry
You lived hard, Strong as steel
We're gonna miss you, Phil.

Two boys left on their own
Got a good throw to go
You know he's looking down
Sun shining when they're on his grounds

He left us way too soon
Didn't get to say goodbye
Just like my Dad before you,
One day we'll be eye to eye.

As the Eagle flies,
Fishing men now don't you cry
Your life is short
Your name lives on
Two boys to carry on

As the Eagle flies,
Fishing men now don't you cry
Storm rages on and on
Gotta keep fishing on

As the Eagle flies,
Fishing men now don't you cry
Your life is short
Your name lives on
Two boys to carry on

As the Eagle flies,
Fishing men now don't you cry
Storm rages on and on
Gotta keep fishing on

As the Eagle flies,
Fishing men now don't you cry
Lived hard, you're strong as steel
We're gonna miss ya, Phil.

Did Andy write this song?

[BobbieDeeT]

@Rob19981998

Yes, He did. :) He wrote it and plays the guitar, and sings it for his buddy, Phil.

He performed it live on the Captains' Tour this past year as well.

Would Love to use your slideshow for the Captains Tour in the segment of Captain Andy (My Dad) performing this song. if you wouldn't mind sharing I would greatly appreciate it.

[BobbieDeeT]

@CassHillstrand I'd be honored. If you'd like me to make any changes, I'll be happy to do that as well.

Your Dad did a great job with this song, and that was the inspiration for the video.
