Lyrics From Michael TroyBack>>

Fish Boat

1. Captain Lou, he quit school
A nineteen year old, teenage fool
The 60s took its toll on him
And things were looking dim
He got himself a job in the mill
Working second shift and hot as hell
He found God and stayed until
It was time that he moved on

Chorus

And he got himself a fishing boat
And boy that boy, he loves to float
From Atlantic City to the Island shoals
Lying in the sun

He's Fall River born and raised
Between Southern Mass and the Ocean State
Reared on the shores of the Mount Hope Bay
Shining in the sun, you're the one.

2. L.A. sure sounds fine
The sun just shines and shines and shines
It don't rain and it don't snow
There's lots of places to go

But I missed the Spring and I missed the Fall
I missed the Massachusetts shore
I missed the people most of all
It was time that I moved on

2nd Chorus

I got up on that fishing boat
And boy this boy, he loves to float
From Atlantic City to the Island Shoals
Lying in the sun

I'm Fall River born and raised
Between Southern Mass and the Ocean State
Reared on the shores of the Mount Hope Bay
Shining in the sun, you're the one.

3. Old Bob Hyson sure was tough
He got himself in all kinds of stuff
The law got close, things got rough
It was time that he moved on

He had to go away for awhile
But he's a Fall River born child
He came home, got a job in the mill
Until he had his fill

3rd Chorus

Then he got up on that fishing boat
And boy that boy, he loves to float
From Atlantic City to the Mount Hope Bay
Lying in the sun

He's Fall River born and raised
Between Southern Mass and the Ocean State
Reared on the shores of the Mount Hope Bay
Shining in the sun, you're the one.
