Old man Crow goes down to the river
GCadd9GCadd9G
Gonna fish himself a full day’s work
GCadd9GCadd9G
Been fishing the same old pond nearly all his life
GCadd9G
Got his name engraved right there in the dirt
FG
Gonna take his catch down to market
FG
gonna bring that money back home
FG
He’s putting bread on the table
FCG
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
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
