The Ol` Diamond Back Sturgeon (fisherman`s Chronicles Part 3) Lyrics

The Ol` Diamond Back Sturgeon (fisherman`s Chronicles Part 3)

The old diamondback sturgeon came swimmin' along
Minding his business one
day
Rooting and sniffing and urging to spawn
In the mud flats of San
Pablo Bay

A scent came around so he followed his snout
He found what
was to his surprise
A golden morsel, a tidbit, a tight bunch of grass
shrimp
Was there right before this buck's eyes

He circle round twice
and he took a big whiff
Then sucked up this savory meal
Then came a jolt
and to the diamondback's surprise
Through his lips cut the cold, barbed
steel

In a panic the old diamondback sped to the north
He sped to the
east, west and south
But the harder he swam, he still could not break
free
>From the "tugging" that pulled at his mouth

The old diamondback
sturgeon came swimmin' along
Minding his business one day
