I Have the Body of John Wilkes Booth
Like Marlon Brando but bigger
You'll find that creature
At the bottom of the deep down
Susquehanna river
This one I had stood right on up to me
Tore out his and declared himself a prodigy
This one I had it looked bright like a sun
Went around three times But oh no, fishin'
Ain't what it used to be
I've seen some bad years
But this one is just killing me
One little nibble in thirteen years
I really pack 'em in
This one I had, I seen it in dreams
All shacked up with lightning and horizon beams
Well, I bring 'em on up and then I pack 'em on in
In all the places I've been
And I swear it's never been like this before
Least not since 19 and 44
But today, I made a sick discovery
Lead box in Sassafras Cove
Well, I brought him on up and then I packed him on in, oh yes
I'm really cashin' in
Wash of the Chesapeake and Appalachian Blue Range
I have discovered the body of John Wilkes Booth
Yes, it's true, I have Mr. Booth
Everybody got to make a living somehow
Do I hear a million?
Well, I bring 'em on, up and then I pack 'em on in
And then I bring up on, up and then I bring 'em on in
Well, I bring 'em on, up and then I pack 'em on in
And then I bring up on
And then I bring 'em on in
And then I bring 'em on in
And then I bring 'em on in
You'll find that creature
At the bottom of the deep down
Susquehanna river
This one I had stood right on up to me
Tore out his and declared himself a prodigy
This one I had it looked bright like a sun
Went around three times But oh no, fishin'
Ain't what it used to be
I've seen some bad years
But this one is just killing me
One little nibble in thirteen years
I really pack 'em in
This one I had, I seen it in dreams
All shacked up with lightning and horizon beams
Well, I bring 'em on up and then I pack 'em on in
In all the places I've been
And I swear it's never been like this before
Least not since 19 and 44
But today, I made a sick discovery
Lead box in Sassafras Cove
Well, I brought him on up and then I packed him on in, oh yes
I'm really cashin' in
Wash of the Chesapeake and Appalachian Blue Range
I have discovered the body of John Wilkes Booth
Yes, it's true, I have Mr. Booth
Everybody got to make a living somehow
Do I hear a million?
Well, I bring 'em on, up and then I pack 'em on in
And then I bring up on, up and then I bring 'em on in
Well, I bring 'em on, up and then I pack 'em on in
And then I bring up on
And then I bring 'em on in
And then I bring 'em on in
And then I bring 'em on in
