Lyrics
The Old Man And Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The old man he catches
The fish in the morning
He rides the river every day
I sit on the bank and
I holler when he passes
"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 comes
A-floating down the river
"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 gets his fish and I sit all day
He gets his fish and I sit all day
