You save every day of my natural life
I'm going down the river 'fore the sun comes up
Floating all around like a web-footed duck
Depending entirely on my Fisherman's Luck

I've been fishing the biggest part of my life
I've caught everything from a turtle to a catfish
It takes a lot of know and a lot of go
For a man to make a living livin' on the Bayou

It takes a Fisherman's Luck and a hook or two
A little bit of fishing line and sinkers, too
You need stay planted each side of the riverbed
If you catch a fish you've got the Fisherman's Luck
You've got the Fisherman's Luck to thank

And I've caught a big one yesterday
It must have weighed at least a dozen pounds or more
Made all my other fish look like a minnow
I guess you could call it Fisherman's Luck

I've got a cage in the river tied to a big tree
I catch 'em more than not, get away from me
Once I get it filled we'll pull it to the top
I load 'em in my boat, fish market next stop

It rained and that man in the fishmonger town
We talked about nothing but how much a pound?
He gives me all my money, cause I'm hard to love
He knows I've got a lot of Fisherman's Luck

I got the Fisherman's Luck and a hook or two
A little bit of fishing line and sinkers, too
You need stay planted each side of the riverbed
If you catch a fish you've got the Fisherman's Luck
You've got the Fisherman's Luck to thank
