Fisherman's Blues (Piano Version)

Well I wish I was a fisherman
Tumblin' on the seas
Far away from dry land
Free from bitter memories

Casting out my sweet line
With abandonment and love
No ceiling bearin' down on me
Save the starry sky above

With light in my head
You in my arms
Woo!

Oh and I wish I was the brakeman
On a hurtlin' fevered train
Crashing headlong through the heartland
Like a cannon in the rain

With the beating of the sleepers
And the burnin' of the coal
Counting the towns flashing by
In a night that's full of soul

With light in my head
You in my arms
Woo!

It's a double length fiddle solo

Well I know I will be loosened
From the bonds that hold me fast
That the chains all hung around me
They will fall away at last

And on that fine and fateful day
I will take myself in hand
I will ride on the train
And I will meet a fisherman

With light in my head
You in my arms
Woo

Now I wish I was a fisherman
Tumblin' on the seas
Far away from dry land
And bitter memories

Casting out my sweet line
With abandonment and love
No ceiling bearin' down on me
Save the starry sky above

With light in my head
And you in my arms
Woo
