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
|
