| Carolina time, grab the fishing line
|
| Gonna get old Jim with the yellow-backed fly
|
| Bought it in a store, paid a little more
|
| Gonna catch that fish with the yellow-backed fly
|
| Tried it last June with a lit firefly
|
| Layed it on the water with a perfect bullseye
|
| Well Jim made a splash, gone in a flash
|
| Beneath the water I heard him laugh
|
| I go at six am, quiet as a hymn
|
| Gonna catch old Jim with the Yellow-Backed Fly
|
| Gonna catch him right, gonna catch him quick
|
| Take him by surprise at the bottom of the crick (creek)
|
| (Bridge)
|
| He lives beneath a rock, underneath the shade
|
| I will have him made with the yellow-backed fly
|
| Here I am at last, lying in the grass
|
| A quiet little cast with the yellow-backed fly
|
| Felt a little tug, well Jim had bit the bug
|
| Then I let him run with the yellow-backed fly
|
| Jumped up on the land, spit it in my hand
|
| He said «Nice try with the yellow-backed fly»
|
| (Bridge)
|
| Then he swam away, I gave him a farewell
|
| Now I’m going home with a story to tell
|
| I put the truck in gear, I’ll be back next year
|
| Gonna make a fly with a hypnotizing eye
|
| I go at six am, quiet as a hymn
|
| Gonna catch old Jim with the yellow-backed fly
|
| Twenty inches long, measured with a stick
|
| He’s old Jim but to me he’s Moby Dick
|
| I go at six am, quiet as a hymn
|
| Gonna catch old Jim with the yellow-backed fly
|
| Twenty inches long, measured with a stick
|
| He’s old Jim but to me he’s Moby Dick |
