lyrics

Well it was late one night, not a star in sight
When I took the john boat down to the dyke
I was hot on the trail of the golden pike
I was gonna show them boys just who was right

It was quiet as a rock, still as a stone
I got the feeling that I weren’t alone
Up row a man in a long row boat
His hood was black but his skin was bone

He smelled like death, he looked like laughter
He said that he knew just what I was after,
He said, “Come with me boy, you can leave that tackle,
It ain’t a question, boy, you gotta”

Chorus
Row man, row, the Devil can row
Faster than the motor on your little john boat
Ain’t a prayer keep you afloat
So take a deep breath, it’s down we go

When I came to, my skin was blue
In the watery light of the pale yellow moon
Floating high above, trickling through
But getting further and further every breath I drew

Legend had it, well, I couldn’t remember
Something ‘bout a fish and a flood and a sinner
I didn’t care, man, I was gonna win her
After all fishes is good for dinner

Chorus

Well I hit rock bottom, and guess what I saw
There were streets and houses and cars and
Trees swaying in a breeze by a lake in the park
Golden scales glowing deep in the dark

Then came a rumble in my chest like thunder
Those that reach far God splits asunder
A crack and a horn like the Judgement Day
Then the tide came along and swept me away, singing

Chorus

And to this day, the locals say
“If you go fishing, boy, don’t stray
There’s a lake and a town deep down beneath
And a golden fish you’d best let be”

But if you gotta be brave, don’t be a fool
And like I did forget this rule
Careful what you seek, you may find
What’s waiting for you at the end of your line

Chorus
