letra de fishtrap joe - bearfoot

[verse 1]
i’ll tell you the story of a man named fishtrap joe
fishin’ northern waters was a dream he’d always known
he packed his bags and headed for the frontier of the north
to fish the cold and stormy seas where fate could run its course
he bought a net and a fishing boat to the sandbars he did go
the silver fish he sought to catch for dreams he’d now know
many seasons p-ssed and his body’s growing old
no longer can he fish the seas, his age has taken toll

[refrain]
bones, bones, bones is all i see
they’re all that’s left of fishtrap joe, the man from tennessee

[verse 2]
joe, he found a job at the fish trap by the slough
he’d watch the trap with his .44 to keep the robbers from its loot
then one night they came and gettin’ salmon on their minds
they shot him down, took his fish, and towed his boat behind
they through his body in a cave and set his boat adrift
they left him there with his .44 still around his hip
the sheriff found the drift and thought that joe had drowned
and the robbers? well, they got away, for his boat had not been found

[refrain]
bones, bones, bones is all i see
they’re all that’s left of fishtrap joe, the man from tennessee

[verse 3]
bones, bones
his body’s buried in the cave, he’ll never fish again
forty years had p-ssed since his murder had been done
two boys were playing on the beach where water falled a gun
the cave was at the bottom, the tide it was low
they found him there with his .44 where he’d died so long ago

[outro]
bones, bones, bones are all i know
they’re all that’s left of fishtrap joe, who was murdered long ago

bones, bones, bones are all i know
they’re all that’s left of fishtrap joe, who was murdered long ago
they’re all that’s left of fishtrap joe, who was murdered long ago
