Walleye

Walleye
(Lyrics by Richard A Lewis & Larry Hayes; Tune "Rawhide" by Dmitri Tiompkin.)

Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin'. Walleye!

Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Lakes and streams are swollen,
Fingers nearly frozen. Walleye!

Through wind and rainy weather,
We're in this boat together,
Six packs, lures, and leeches by our side.

I've been drowning shiners,
Searching with depth finders,
Tryin' to get a big one on the line.

(Chorus:) Bait 'em up, cast 'em out,
Cast 'em out, bait 'em up,
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out. Walleye!
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up,
Fry 'em up, gut 'em out,
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up. Walleye!

Keep movin', movin', movin',
Though they're disapprovin',
We'll find out where they're schoolin'. Walleye!

My heart is contemplatin'
A big fish that's a-waitin',
Waitin' at the end of my line.

Don't try to understand 'em,
Just set the hook and land 'em.
Soon we'll be listenin' to 'em fry.

Bait 'em up, cast 'em out,
Cast 'em out, bait 'em up,
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out. Walleye!
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up,
Fry 'em up, gut 'em out,
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up. Walleye!

(Lead guitar solo)

Bait 'em up, cast 'em out,
Cast 'em out, bait 'em up,
Bait 'em up, cast 'em out. Walleye!
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up,
Fry 'em up, gut 'em out,
Gut 'em out, fry 'em up. Walleye!

Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin',
Trollin', trollin', trollin'. Walleye!

As sung by the Hula Poppers, 1986, Shadow Records 3355.
