The old man, he catches the fish in the morning He rides the river everyday I go down to the bank and I holler when he passes "Hey, old man, are they biting today? Hey, old man, are they biting today?"
I wake up in the morning, thinking 'bout my troubles I go down to the water and they pass away And when the old man, he comes floating down the river "Hey, old man, are they biting today? Hey, old man, are they biting today?"
Now here we've got a thing that keeps on rolling It ain't heavy, don't take it that way The old man and me, we got a good thing going He catches fish and I sit all day He catches fish and I sit all day
