Blue Marlin Blues Lyrics - Here For A Good Time - George Strait

I got the blue marlin blues 

I got the blue marlin blues 

I got the blue marlin blues 

I got the blue marlin blues 

I got the blue marlin blues 

I got the blue marlin blues 

I got the blue marlin blues 

I got the blue marlin blues 

First one off the dock, long before dawn 

Headed to the blue water, won't take long 

A box full of ballyhoo rigged just right 

Still hurting from that party last night

Thirty miles later, get the cold lines in 

Scrambling 'round the cockpit thinking we're gonna win 

Seven hours later, we still ain't caught a thing 

The mood on this boat sure has changed 

I got the blue marlin blues from my hat to my shoes 

I used to catch them in twos, no matter which bait I choose 

How many more can I lose, it got me drinking the booze 

I got the blue marlin blues 

I had one swimming right behind my bait 

I'm all lit up, man, I just couldn't wake 

I picked up the rod, I put it in free spool 

Thinking I'll shake these blue marlin blues 

He knocked it out of the clear and I fed him some line 

I locked it up and I begin to whine 

He came out of the water, spit the bait right at me 

Then disappeared back into the sea
