NaPoWriMo - Day Three

A modern sea shanty.

Jon Boats, Bass Boats, Long boats all,
We fish every season from summer to fall.
With a beer in one hand and a pole in the other
We’re friends one and all, an odd band of brothers.

We fish, and we fish, and we fish all day long
We drink and we drink and we sing the fish song
There’s no where else we’d rather be
Than a river, a lake, a stream, or the sea.

We’ve got a full cooler, a pot full of bait
There’s never a very good reason to wait
The fish be a-biting, the suns shining hot
We could eat for a year on the fishes we got

We fish, and we fish, and we fish all day long
We drink and we drink and we sing the fish song
There’s no where else we’d rather be
Than a river, a lake, a stream, or the sea.

I’ve a pig on me left knee, a cock on me right,
So should I go under, my charms they will fight
I’ve a swallow on the bottoms of each of me feet
So my fair wife and children again I might meet

We fish, and we fish, and we fish all day long
We drink and we drink and we sing the fish song
There’s no where else we’d rather be
Than a river, a lake, a stream, or the sea.

At the end of the day when we’ve fished ourselves out
We’ve got bass and bream and a pretty fat trout
We’ve packed up our lures, our poles and our ties
Don’t ask us about sizes and we’ll tell you no lies.

We fish, and we fish, and we fish all day long
We drink and we drink and we sing the fish song
There’s no where else we’d rather be
Than a river, a lake, a stream, or the sea.
