Fish Assassin - Shovels & Rope

It’s quiet on the river this morning

Ain’t nobody on the water but me But the sun is comin' on And it won’t be long

'Fore there’s a little more wake

Comin' in this creek

I put the lines out in the

Water in the morning

They’ll be loaded by the end of the day

I put a trap or two in the wolf gut slough

They’ll be full if I’m lucky that way

I crossed that line with that woman of mine

She sent me on down that way

Now I’m making noise with the alligator boys

Twenty miles east of Gauttier

The river got outta the banks, sweet darlin'

Probably up into the roots by now

But there ain’t no harrassin' this ole fish assassin

I’m gonna get 'em in the boat somehow

We gonna fry a mess of fish in the evening

Me and whoever else is around

And that baby of mine might be mad at me but

Believe me, she’ll be coming on down

I crossed that line with that woman of mine

She sent me on down that way

Now I’m making noise with the alligator boys

Twenty miles east of Gauttier
