Hey there Mister,

have ya got a dime to spare?

I wanna buy a crawdad

to catch a fish in there.

I can spare a dime, young man,

but I’ll need to know just why,

You think you can catch a fish

and that crawdad you can buy.

“Cuz my Daddy taught me how to fish.

How to catch ‘em without fail.

I can weigh ‘em, an’ measure ‘em too,

from their head down to their tail.

 Daddy said, “You stand in the water,

to feel the river’s flow.

Cast your line out…not too deep

and let yer line out slow.

Now patience is the key, son,

stand as still as still can be,

So the fish will come a bite’n.”

That’s what my Daddy told me.

He said, “You gotta feel the line

an’ when you feel it tug a bit,

Give ‘at line one good jerk

and you can call  ‘at one a hit.”

So how ’bout it Mister,

have ya got a dime to spare?

So I  can buy a crawdad

and catch a fish in there?
