steve martin - yellow-backed fly lyrics
carolina time, grab the fishing line.
gonna get old jim with the yellow-backed fly.
bought it in a store, paid a little more.
gonna catch that fish with the yellow-backed fly.
tried it last june with a lit firefly,
layed it on the water with a perfect bullseye.
well jim made a splash, gone in a flash.
beneath the water i heard him laugh.
i go at six am, quiet as a hymn.
gonna catch old jim with the yellow-backed fly.
gonna catch him right, gonna catch him quick.
take him by surprise at the bottom of the crick (creek).
(bridge)
he lives beneath a rock, underneath the shade.
i will have him made with the yellow-backed fly.
here i am at last, lying in the gr-ss.
a quiet little cast with the yellow-backed fly.
felt a little tug, well jim had bit the bug.
then i let him run with the yellow-backed fly.
jumped up on the land, spit it in my hand.
he said “nice try with the yellow-backed fly”.
(bridge)
then he swam away, i gave him a farewell.
now i’m going home with a story to tell.
i put the truck in gear, i’ll be back next year.
gonna make a fly with a hypnotizing eye.
i go at six am, quiet as a hymn.
gonna catch old jim with the yellow-backed fly.
twenty inches long, measured with a stick.
he’s old jim but to me he’s moby d-ck.
i go at six am, quiet as a hymn.
gonna catch old jim with the yellow-backed fly.
twenty inches long, measured with a stick.
he’s old jim but to me he’s moby d-ck.
