Fisherman — текст песни (Jack Ingram)

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
