It's quiet on the river this morning Ain't nobody on the water but me And the sun's comin' on but it won't be long For there's a little more wake comin' in this creek I put the lines out in the water in the morning And they'll be loaded by the end of the day I put a trap or two in the Wolf Gut Slough They'll be full if I'm lucky that way I crossed the line with that woman of mine And she sent me on down that way Now I'm making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gautier The river got outta the banks, sweet darlin' Probably up into the roots by now But there ain't no harrassin' this ole fish assassin I'm gonna get 'em in the boat somehow We gonna fry a mess of fish in the evening Me and whoever else is around And that baby of mine might be mad at me But believe me, she'll be comin' on down I crossed the line with that woman of mine And she sent me on down that way Now I'm making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gautier I crossed the line with that woman of mine And she sent me on down that way Now I'm making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gautier Making noise with the alligator boys Twenty miles east of Gautier
