TV Smith - The Day We Caught The Big Fish lyrics

They called me `Skipper' And I sailed on the sea Home was the rolling waves And the beer and the company And we pulled the nets together And we worked as a team Until the day we caught the big fish And were never seen again And the clock kept ticking And my supper went cold On the day we caught the big fish And my wife was widowed We'd talk of the old days That would never come back When we needed those muscles Just to haul in the catch When the ropes were singing And our skins grew brown On the day we caught the big fish It was all hands down And the boats kept searching There was no trace found On the day we caught the big fish It was all hands down When I hit the water I was still laughing at a joke That was just done telling When the monster awoke And I thought of all the legends As I heard the winches scream Then I swam with the devil In the deep blue sea And the clock kept ticking And my supper went cold There were radio messages That they couldn't decode So the boats kept searching But there was no trace found On the day we caught the big fish It was all hands down
