Great song, but the lyrics posted are incomplete.

Like Marlon Brando, but bigger You'll find that creature at the bottom of the deep down Susquehanna River. This one I had, it stood right on up to me, Tore out its hook and declared itself a prodigy. This one I had, it turned bright like the sun Twirled (turned?) around three times, and departed with the dove

But oh, no, fishing ain't what it used to be. I seen some bad years, but this one is just killing me. One little nibble in thirteen years, I really pack 'em in. This one I had, I seen it in dreams, All shacked up with lightning and horizon beams.

Well I bring 'em on up, and then I pack 'em all in, In all the places I been. And I swear, it's never been like this before, 'least not since 19-and-44. But today, I made a sick discovery, Lead box in Sassafras cove. Well I bring 'em on up, and then I pack 'em all in Oh yeah, I'm really cashing in.

Wash of the Chesapeake and Appalachian Blue Range, I have discovered the body of John Wilkes Booth! Yes, it's true, I have Mr. Booth. Everybody gotta make a livin' somehow...

Do I hear a million?

Yeah

Well, I bring 'em on up, and then I pack 'em all in And then I bring 'em on up, and then I pack 'em all in Well, I bring 'em on up, and then I pack 'em all in And then I bring 'em on up, and then I pack 'em all in

And then I pack 'em all in And then I pack 'em all in
