Fish Assassin Lyrics - Swimmin' Time - 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
