Fisherman

Old man Crow goes down to the river

He's gonna fish himself a full day's work

He's been fishing the same old pond nearly all his life

He's got his name engraved right there in the dirt

He's gonna take his catch down to market

He's 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

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

He 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
