Fisherman's Life

Old man Crow goes down to the river Gonna fish himself a full day's work Been fishing the same old pond nearly all his life Got his name engraved right there in the dirt Gonna take his catch down to market gonna bring that money back home He's putting bread on the table He's doing his job Old man's buddy comes down to the river He's gonna talk himself a full day's work He's been fishing for the love of the pond nearly all his life He don't mind at all getting down in the dirt His wife calls at the end of the day His child stumbles downtown to play He's gonna sit in the yard for awhile He's feeling no pain Solo The river bed man has seen some changes Going from paddle boats to gasoline He don't mind at all about no dirty water As long the sun comes up and those fish get cleaned Don't need no millionaire's daughter Don't need no millionaire's wife He's got that millionaire's money Notched in the pole of the fisherman's life
