Old man's buddy comes down to the river 
He's gonna talk himself a full day's work 
He's been fishing for the love of the pond nearly all his life 
He don't mind at all getting down in the dirt 
His wife calls at the end of the day 
His child stumbles downtown to play 
He's gonna sit in the yard for awhile 
He's feeling no pain 
 
Solo 
 
 
The river bed man has seen some changes 
Going from paddle boats to gasoline 
He don't mind at all about no dirty water 
As long the sun comes up and those fish get cleaned 
Don't need no millionaire's daughter 
Don't need no millionaire's wife 
He's got that millionaire's money 
Notched in the pole of the fisherman's life
