Cadd9 X32013
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Old man Crow goes down to the river
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Gonna fish himself a full days work
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Been fishing the same old pond nearly all his life
G Cadd9 G
Got his name engraved right there in the dirt
F G
Gonna take his catch down to market
F G
gonna bring that money back home
F G
Hes putting bread on the table
F C G
Hes doing his job
Old mans buddy comes down to the river
Hes gonna talk himself a full days work
Hes been fishing for the love of the pond nearly all his life
He dont mind at all getting down in the dirt
His wife calls at the end of the day
His child stumbles downtown to play
Hes gonna sit in the yard for awhile
Hes feeling no pain
Solo
The river bed man has seen some changes
Going from paddle boats to gasoline
He dont mind at all about no dirty water
As long the sun comes up and those fish get cleaned
Dont need no millionaires daughter
Dont need no millionaires wife
Hes got that millionaires money
Notched in the pole of the fishermans life
