Fisherman's Blues (2006 Remaster)
Whoo!
I wish I was a fisherman
Tumblin' on the seas
Far away from dry land
And its bitter memories
Castin' out my sweet line
With abandonment and love
No ceilin' bearin' down on me
Except the starry sky above
With light in my head
You in my arms
Whoo!
I wish I was the brakeman
On a hurtlin' fevered train
Crashing a-headlong into 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
Whoo!
Oh no, I will be loosened
From bonds that hold me fast
That the chains all hung around me
Will fall away at last
And on that fine and fateful day
I will take me in my hands
I will ride on the train
I will be the fisherman
With light in my head
You in my arms
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo!
Light in my head
You in my arms
Light in my head
You
Light in my head
You in my arms
Light in my head
And the best of you
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo!
I wish I was a fisherman
Tumblin' on the seas
Far away from dry land
And its bitter memories
Castin' out my sweet line
With abandonment and love
No ceilin' bearin' down on me
Except the starry sky above
With light in my head
You in my arms
Whoo!
I wish I was the brakeman
On a hurtlin' fevered train
Crashing a-headlong into 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
Whoo!
Oh no, I will be loosened
From bonds that hold me fast
That the chains all hung around me
Will fall away at last
And on that fine and fateful day
I will take me in my hands
I will ride on the train
I will be the fisherman
With light in my head
You in my arms
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo!
Light in my head
You in my arms
Light in my head
You
Light in my head
You in my arms
Light in my head
And the best of you
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo!
