Well I was born in a John boat, with a cane pole in my hand

D7 A

Yeah I was born in a John boat, with a cane pole in my hand

Yeah my daddy was a river rat, I was born a fisherman

Well I was born to run a trot line, born to fish all night, that's right

I was born to run a trot line, born to fish all night

Yeah I'm gonna get a buzz even if I don't get a bite
