The world has many anglers, but
Real fishermen few;

He'll tell you how he loves the game,
Casting baited hook for bass
In river lake or bay
Oh. there are lots Of them
Who will not quit his bed TO fish
At 4 o'clock a.
The fisherman will rise at dawn
To cast his line into the deep
Before IT'S .Pt Preak OF 10, "a y,ts+ totor.
But when the fisherman gets up,
To rouse the angler from his sleep
He sticks unto his cot
To ish? Wei, I guess not.
The fisherman will row boat
For miles am miles and miles,
And catching but a fish or two,
His face is wreathed in smiles
The angler wants a cushioned seat

The morning star knows fishermen,
The anglers, though il never sees
They sleep till a. m.
