Listen to hear, there's a beaver on the river
Slapping his tail in the mud
Working to build his home on the river
Like the good lord said he should...

Fisherman

|
Once there was a fisherman who lived with his wife
In a run-down shack by the sea
Didn't have no money and he paid no rent
you know, he fished because the fishing was free...

Uncle Hubert

The biggest uncle I ever had, asking me, 'do you wanna go fishin', bucket of minnows, tying a hook on the line.
The biggest uncle I ever had, steering a boat over Lake Wappapella, sodas in the ice chest, stories to pass the time.

My baby left me this morning without even saying why,
Here's what he wrote in his little note,
"Sorry 'bout Christmas, Goodbye."
He could have waited till New Years, I could have stood that all right. What will I do with this Christmas night?

Die Dancin'

Old Pa Jones was an old man I saw at a festival held in November. The Band on the wagon was playing an old song that Old Pa Jones could remember. Old Pa Jones had been dancin' when his heart skipped a beat out of time. He fell to his knees with a hard heavy breathing, but he said to the crowd, 'Hey, I'm Fine!' I said' Pa, you're in need of a Doctor, won't you let me give you a ride?' HE said with a grin, "Don't ya know it's a sin not to dance when you're feeling alive?"

Somewhere in the middle gonna shake-it just a little
And give this old body some soul!
