Walter Brennan - Houdini lyrics

rate me

Now I used to be like a lot of folks<br />

Just to seeing how much money I could make<br />

But lately, I'm spending most of my time<br />

Fishing for that old wide mouth bass in the lake<br />

<br />

I call him Houdini, the way he disappears<br />

Just when you think he's taking your line<br />

He's been outsmarting folks<br />

Around here for years<br />

But one day, he's gonna be mine<br />

<br />

He brought a lotta fishermen<br />

Down here to our town<br />

Eager to try out a new lure<br />

They's thinking they's<br />

The best anywhere's around<br />

And going away not so sure<br />

<br />

So, with your reputation, old big mouth<br />

Fishing for you's considered<br />

Worthwhile for folk<br />

So, I ain't in no hurry to pull you out<br />

Sitting here neath this old oak<br />

<br />

So, swim Houdini<br />

Whilst I close my eyes<br />

Cause you and me's friends<br />

Now you ain't no fool<br />

And neither am I and one day<br />

I might pull you in<br />

<br />

Now, I figured out how you survive<br />

Watch the others get tempted<br />

And caught, you see<br />

You're not greedy so you're still alive<br />

Old fish, that's a lesson you've<br />

Taught to me<br />

<br />

Well, Houdini, the sun's getting low<br />

I know you like to jump in the lake<br />

So, I'll just mosey along<br />

Tomorrow, I might even use a little bait<br />

<br />

So, swim Houdini<br />

Whilst I close my eyes<br />

Cause you and me's friends<br />

Now you ain't no fool<br />

And neither am I and one day<br />

I might pull you in<br />

<br />

No, you ain't no fool<br />

And neither am I and one day<br />

I might pull you in<br />

Ha ha ha ha ha ha
