The Legend of Lake Isabella
I have so many memories of waterskiing and camping through the years growing up. This song and video is a tribute to my earthly father for making it possible.
I may get a fact wrong here or there — yet it is how I remember our times at the Lake. I hope this original country music video about waterskiing goes viral so everyone can share a little bit of my childhood — and know the father who made it possible.
The thing I am most thankful for is that my dad taught me to trust in the God of the Bible. Even though he wasn’t the perfect father and I was not the perfect daughter — I'm so very thankful that God placed us into the same family.
Happy Father's Day!
Lyrics:
When young, He’d meet the sun to glide on the glass Single Ski — Maharaja under his feet Laying down low, shoulder skimming the water His beautiful wife Marilynn driving the boat
He could start from the deep or start from shore And stop there as well running up on two feet His grace on the water was more like an art He’d ski till the mountain tips had no more sun
[Chorus]
He’s the legend of Lake Isabella Cutting in close at Pioneer’s show off cove Gliding across the still waters at Main Dam Doug Sammons could jump that wake like no other man
Well the kids came too and learned to say “Hit It” Rope trained on doubles ‘til they could follow suit Once pulled four kids behind the boat at one time Son Brian, daughter Mischelle, nephews in tow
A shore stop gone bad scraped him up really bad Rocks in the lake ate a propellor or two One day the beloved Sea Ray gave up the ghost He soon had a new boat to take up its place
[Chorus]
His bones they grew older and muscles grew weak One final ski ride was all he ever dreamed All had forgotten that we got it on tape Grand girl Em'ly stumbled on it by mistake
No more repairs for the dust covered vessel Sat in the garage whispering old stories He sold it for bones to a long lost cousin Nothing left now but all the memories he shared
[Chorus] He’s still the legend of Lake Isabella The one spraying the water at show off cove Gliding across the still waters at Main Dam My Daddy could jump that wake like no other man
