Blue Marlin Blues

I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues First one off the dock, long before dawn Headed to the blue water, won't take long A box full of ballyhoo rigged just right Still hurting from that party last night 30 miles later, get the cold lines in Scrambling 'round the cockpit thinking we're gonna win 7 hours later, we still ain't caught a thing The mood on this boat sure has changed I got the blue marlin blues from my hat to my shoes I used to catch them in twos, no matter which bait I choose How many more can I lose, it got me drinking the booze I got the blue marlin blues I had one swimming right behind my bait I'm all lit up, man, I just couldn't wake I picked up the rod, I put it in free spool Thinking I'll shake these blue marlin blues He knocked it out of the clear and I fed him some line I locked it up and I begin to whine He came out of the water, spit the bait right at me Then disappeared back into the sea I got the blue marlin blues from my hat to my shoes I used to catch them in twos, no matter which bait I choose How many more can I lose, it got me drinking the booze I got the blue marlin blues
