Long about evening when the sun goes down
Down on the Swanee where the water's brown
Half a can of worms and an old cane pole
Old man's fishin' in the swimming hole
Cork bobbin' skeeters bite
Cyprus shadows in the cool moonlight
Mem'ries swimmin' in the warm moonshine
Hot time in old town tonight
Whiskered fish waller in the bottom mud
He's been around since Noah's flood
Stole a worm or two from his old manfriend
Nibble nibble see the old man grin
Cork bobbin' skeeters bite...
[ fiddle ]
Moon shines brighter in the southern night
Fish still loose but the old man's tight
Grab a bite and run then it's back for more
Catfish eatin' while the old man snores
Cork bobbin' skeeters bite...
Cork bobbin' skeeters bite...
Hot time in old town tonight
