The Fish Aren't Bitin' Today

By David Allan Coe

TAKE THE JIB SAIL DOWN BOYS TAKE THE JIB SAIL DOWN

TURN THIS SHIP AROUND BOYS BEFORE WE RUN AGROUND

THE FISH AREN'T BITING TODAY BOYS FISH AREN'T BITING TODAY

IM GONNA LAY ON MY BUNK AND GET DRUNK AS A SKUNK

CAUSE THE FISH AREN'T BITING TODAY

THERE'S SIX FOOT WAVES AND MY STOMACH CRAVES

SOME GOOD OLD ANTIGUAN RUM

I PUT SOME AWAY FOR A RAINY DAY

AND THE RAIN SHE'S STARTING TO COME NOW

THERE'S A NORTHERN WIND AND THE LIGHTS ARE DIM

LIKE A GOOD FRESH CUBAN CIGAR

I GOT ME A HUTCH WHERE THERE MIGHT BE A BUNCH

IN THE CAPTIONS PICKLE JAR, SO.
