Pickerelin’ On the Crick

       


I know the boys are fishin’
      On “Lizzard Crick” today;
It makes me fall to wishin’
      That I was fur away,
Away from town an’ hurry
      Where people are so thick;
Away from work an’ worry
      A-fishin’ on the “Crick”.

I know the fish are bitin’
      On “Lizzard Crick” today;
The weather is invitin’,
      The hills are soft an’ gray.
The air has got a feelin’
      That pick’rel fishers know,
An’ through my soul comes stealin’
      A hankerin’ to go.


The campfire’s bright an’ snappy
      Upon ol’ “Lizzard’s” shore;
The boys are warm an’ happy
      While spinnin’ yarns galore.
It makes me fall to wishin’
      That I my work could shelf,
An’ go off down there fishin’,
      An’ spin a yarn myself.
