steve martin & the steep canyon rangers – yellow-backed fly lyrics
carolina time, grab the fishing line
gonna get old jim with the yellow-backed fly
bought it in a store, paid a little more
gonna catch that fish with the yellow-backed fly
tried it last june with a lit firefly
layed it on the water with a perfect bullseye
well jim made a splash, gone in a flash
beneath the water i heard him laugh
i go at six am, quiet as a hymn
gonna catch old jim with the yellow-backed fly
gonna catch him right, gonna catch him quick
take him by surprise at the bottom of the crick (creek)
(bridge)
he lives beneath a rock, underneath the shade
i will have him made with the yellow-backed fly
here i am at last, lying in the gr-ss
a quiet little cast with the yellow-backed fly
felt a little tug, well jim had bit the bug
then i let him run with the yellow-backed fly
jumped up on the land, spit it in my hand
he said “nice try with the yellow-backed fly”
(bridge)
then he swam away, i gave him a farewell
now i’m going home with a story to tell
i put the truck in gear, i’ll be back next year
gonna make a fly with a hypnotizing eye
i go at six am, quiet as a hymn
gonna catch old jim with the yellow-backed fly
twenty inches long, measured with a stick
he’s old jim but to me he’s moby d-ck
i go at six am, quiet as a hymn
gonna catch old jim with the yellow-backed fly
twenty inches long, measured with a stick
he’s old jim but to me he’s moby d-ck
