PawPaw's Pond
©2017 Bart Mitchell

In south Alabama down a red dirt road
About 20 years from here
There's a farmhouse with a pond out back
and a rickety old pier
I remember my first fishing pole
Ten pound test on a Zebco
Now let's go fishin' in Pawpaw's Pond.

Chorus 1
I'm going fishin' in Pawpaw's pond
Bullfrogs croakin' at the crack of dawn
Might catch a bass and I might catch a bream
If it gets to hot I'll just jump right in.
It's 5 feet deep and 40 feet wide
They say they're a bitin' on the other side
But I can fish right here just fine.
(Hey Pawpaw watch me cast this line.)

In time lines were broke a lot of crickets drowned
Summers have come and gone.
Pawpaw's still there and the bull frogs too
Lookin' after that old pond.
Now I'm pushin' 30 years old
you know I still love love to go
let's go fishin' in Pawpaw's Pond.

Repeat Chorus 1

Bridge
Now my son is six years old
And I just bought a new Zebco
Now let's go fishin' in Pawpaw's Pond.

Chorus 2
We're goin' fishing in Pawpaw's Pond
Bullfrogs croakin' at the crack of dawn
Might catch a bass and we might catch a bream
If it gets too hot we'll just jump right in
It's five feet deep and forty feet wide
They say they're bitin' on the other side.
But we can fish right here just fine.
(Hey daddy let's jump in... yea ... alright)

Nana's in the kitchen fixin my favorite dish,
Hushpuppies and frog legs.
