There’s an old tree with ten thousand limbs
            submerged just off shore

  And it shelters the home of a big lunker bass
            that weighs maybe 10 pounds or more.

 I’ve known his address for sometime now
            and I’ve passed him with many a throw.

 I’ve tried every lure and spinner I’ve got
            and I’ve hooked him at least twice I know.

I saw him one night in the bright moonlight
            as he came at the top of my plug.

       But at the bend of my pole and the snap of my line
            he was gone with one mighty tug.

I fooled him one time with a live water dog,     
        and hooked him deep in the throat;

But he headed for the bottom, and `round a big limb
            and pulled me `bout half out of the boat.

He fought like a horse for an hour or more
            and I worked till I ran out of wind.

 But with one mighty jerk, my line went limp
            and I knew I’d lost him again!
