Billy Joel Collection - Downeaster Alexa

The song is sung in the persona of an impoverished fisherman off Long Island and the surrounding waters who, like many of his fellow fishermen, is finding it increasingly hard to make ends meet and keep ownership of his boat, a type known as a downeaster.

 

The boat in this song is named after Billy's daughter Alexa.
