With a rod and reel and pail of steel
I could stay on my boat forever
Spinning tales with my two young friends
Living and learning off of the river
They say the current flows with a mighty grip
But below the surface she watches
The witch in the old man will take you into her depths
Many go to seek the cool from a hot day
Mama says there's a witch down in the river
She has no friends to speak of
And she is always trying to steal a few from the old man
The old Miss man
The old man as he flows down south to the Gulf of Mexico
