The River

[Intro] It's quiet on the river this morning Ain't nobody on the water but me But the sun is comin' on And it won't be long 'Fore there's a little more wake Comin' in this creek I put the lines out in the Water in the morning They'll be loaded by the end of the day I put a trap or two in the wolf gut slough They'll be full if I'm lucky that way [Build up] It's quiet on the river this morning Ain't nobody on the water but me But the sun is comin' on And it won't be long 'Fore there's a little more wake Comin' in this creek I put thе lines out in the Water in thе morning They'll be loaded by the end of the day I put a trap or two in the wolf gut slough They'll be full if I'm lucky that way The river got outta the banks, sweet darlin' Probably up into the roots by now But there ain't no harrassin' this ole fish assassin I'm gonna get 'em in the boat somehow We gonna fry a mess of fish in the evening Me and whoever else is around And that baby of mine might be mad at me but Believe me, she'll be coming on down [second Build Up] Making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gauttier Making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gauttier Making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gauttier Making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gauttier Making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gauttier Making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gauttier [Drop] It's quiet on the river this morning Ain't nobody on the water but me But the sun is comin' on And it won't be long 'Fore there's a little more wake Comin' in this creek I put the lines out in the Water in the morning They'll be loaded by the end of the day I put a trap or two in the wolf gut slough They'll be full if I'm lucky that way The river got outta the banks, sweet darlin' Probably up into the roots by now But there ain't no harrassin' this ole fish assassin I'm gonna get 'em in the boat somehow We gonna fry a mess of fish in the evening Me and whoever else is around And that baby of mine might be mad at me but Believe me, she'll be coming on down [Outro] Making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gauttier Making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gauttier Making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gauttier Making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gauttier
