Fisherman

Between the darkness and the light

As the stars fade out of sight

I can hear his shiny boots fall on the sand



With a basket at his side

And the morning full of pride

You can see him cast his line with skillful hands



Hey, hey, fisherman

Wish you luck that's all I can

Hey, hey, fisherman

Forget the world if that's your plan



As the morning turns to noon

He's content to sit and croon

And he lights his twisted pipe and settles down



Onward goes the time

As he tries new baited line

So he digs another worm up from the ground



Hey, hey, fisherman

Wish you luck that's all I can

Hey, hey, fisherman

Forget the world if that's your plan



T'ween the nightness and the light

The line is taut, he has a bite

And he hauls the beauty in with skillful pride



And his patient mind is blown

'Cause the fish is overgrown

It was really worth a day for such a prize



Hey, hey, fisherman
