Story of a Fish
You could tell these boys were trouble Even though they were so young In the hills of Avoca thank god they had no guns With echoes in their laughter amadons just out for thrills No end in sight for mischief these boys with hidden skills One summer day at the Wooden Bridge we planned to fill our net All the fish were sleeping looks as though I'll lose my bet Just pennies in our pockets it's enough to see the farm We kick a stone into the pond you know we mean no harm
It's a story of a fish I told by the fireside To be with our two heroes on that day Where from that mighty hole it's a cannibal they stole You should have seen the one that got away
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Just as the sun was dimming 'twas a monster we did see The biggest fish I'd ever seen a cannibal was he I asked if we could take him just to show him to your man He said be sure to hold on you will need to use both hands I tied him to my hand made bike and peddled through the wind Young Miley by my side we both had devilment in our grin Off to the house we washed our hands and doth our Sunday best Nine miles the ride to Arklow with a story to impress
The front page of the papers I heard my Mother cry Into my eyes she looked right through to her I could not lie Our fame was known throughout the land for all the world to see To this day the record holds I sing this song with glee
