  (x4)

                        
Was fresh and bright and early
                  
I went towards the river
                     
But nothing still has altered
                   
Just the seasons ring a change

                    
There stood this old timer
                         
For all the world's first poacher
                 
His mind upon his tackle
                         
And these words upon his mind:

  (x4)

                    
Bring me a fish with eyes of jewels
                    
And mirrors on their bodies
                     
Bring them strong and bring them bigger
          
Than a newborn child

                    
Well I've no use for riches
                   
And I've no use for power
                     
And I've no use for a broken heart
                  
I'll let this world go by

             (x4)
(dum dum dum dum)

  (x2)

                    
There stood this old timer
                         
For all the world's first poacher
                 
His mind upon his tackle
                    
And these words upon his mind:

                    
Bring me a fish with eyes of jewels
                    
And mirrors on their bodies
                     
Bring them strong and bring them bigger
          
Than a newborn child

  (x8)

             (x4)
(dum dum dum dum)      (and fade)
