OUT FISHN'
A teller isn't thinkin' mean out fishin';
His thoughts are mostly good an clean, out fishin'.
He doesn't knock his fellow men,
Or harbor any grudges then;
A fellers at his finest when out fishin'.
The rich are comrades to the poor out fishin';
All brothers of a common lure, out fishin''.
The urchin with the pin an string
Can chum with millionaire an king;
Vain pride is a forgotten thing, out fishin'.
A teller gifts a chance to dream, out fishin';
An he can wash his soul in air
That isn't foul with selfish care,
An relish plain and simple fare, out fishin'.
A teller has no tine for hate, out fishin';
He isn't eager to be great out fishin',
He isn't thinking thoughts of self,
Or goods stacked high upon a shelf,
But he is always just himself, out fishin'.
A feIers glad to be a friend, out fishin';
A helpin' hand he'll always lend, out fishin'.
The brotherhood of rod an line
An sky and stream is always fine;
Men come real close to Gods design, out fishin'.
A Teller isn't plotting schemes, out fishin';
He's only busy with his dreams, out fishin'.
His liberty is a coat of tan,
His creed-to do the best he can;
A feller's always mostly man, out fishin'.
