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

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
