[Verse 1]
It's fresh and bright and early
I went to watch the river
But nothing still has altered just the seasons ring a change
[Chorus]
There stood this old timer
For all the world's first poacher
His mind upon his tackle
And these words upon his mind
Bring me fish with eyes of jewels
And mirrors on their bodies
Bring them strong and bring them bigger than a newborn child
[Verse 2]
Well, I've no use for riches
And I've no use for power
And I've no use for a broken heart
I'll let this world go by
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
There stood this old timer
For all the world's first poacher
His mind upon his tackle
And these words upon his mind
Bring me fish with eyes of jewels
And mirrors on their bodies
Bring them strong and bring them bigger than a newborn child
[Instrumental]
Just about sums me up if I do say so myself !
