Yellow-Backed Fly |
| 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 |
