Good Enough For Me

I’ve fished in many lakes and ponds, and fished off on the sea,

But fishing here on Lizzard Crick is good enough for me.

There ain’t no trout or salmon here, nor bass that weigh a ton,

But there’s a slew of bull heads, which bite and pull like fun.

I hear about the Rangely Lakes, and Moosehead, full of trout,

How summer people go up there and pull great, big ones out;

Of course that must be lots of fun, for city folks to see,

But fishing here on Lizzard Crick is good enough for me.

Yes sir, I never fished here yet but what I ketched a mess

That filled a stringer to the top, and ma with happiness,

So fish away in Rangely Lakes, with all your fillergree,

Bull-headin’ here on Lizzard Crick is good enough for me.
