Last Salmon Man Lyrics - Green Naugahyde - Primus

The river water diverts to other places 

To nurture central valley seeds 

The northern waters that sloshes desert fairways 

Fulfill So-Cal golfers needs 

The Mighty Chook, it used to run the rivers 

To the grounds where they spawn 

Thin numbers, as the tributaries waned 

Pretty soon, they'll all be gone 

Jimmy Mac runs the trawler of his father 

Who got it passed down from his Pa 

Three closed seasons, and a banknote on his shoulder 

That Jimmy's hidin' from the law 

Jimmy watched, as the bulk of the fleet 

Sold their boats or moved away 

But after the stroke, he promised to his father 

He'd do his best to stay

He'd remember the days when his father used to show him 

How to set the temp on the gear 

His hand upon his shoulder, he looked out at the water 

Said, "Son it is my fear, that you'll be the Last Salmon Man." 

You're the Last Salmon Man 

You're the Last Salmon Man 

You're the Last Salmon Man, from the MacGoverner clan 

2010 they re-opened North Cal waters 

To the salmon chasing slew 

Four straight days, Jimmy trolled the jagged coastline 

But, the fish were far and few 

Jimmy watched as the bulk of the fleet 

Packed their boats and moved away 

But on his death bed, he promised to his father 

He'd do his best to stay

How to set the temp on the gear 

His hand upon his shoulder, he looked out at the water

You're the Last Salmon Man 

You're the Last Salmon Man 

You're the Last Salmon Man, from the MacGoverner clan 

The Last Salmon Man 

He's the Last Salmon Man 

He's the Last Salmon Man, from the MacGoverner clan
