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
