The old man
He catches the fish in the morning
He rides the river every day
I sit on the bank
And I holler when he passes
"Hey  old man"
Are they biting today
I wake up in the morning
Thinking 'bout my troubles
I go down to the water
And they pass away
And when the old man
Comes a-floating down the river
"Hey  old man
Are they biting today"
"Hey  old man
Are they biting today"
Now here we've got a thing
That keeps on rolling
It ain't heavy
Don't take it that way
The old man and me
We got a good thing going
He gets his fish and I sit all day
He gets his fish and I sit all day
