Well, my daddy was a bear in the Allegheny Mountains
And my mother was a `gator in the Ohio
I was born full-growed at the forks of the river
And I cut my teeth on a catfish bone
Oh, my name is Mike Fink, I`m a keelboat poler
I`m a Salt River roarer and I eat live coals
I`m a half-alligator and I ride tornaders
And I can out-feather, out-jump, out-hop, out-skip
Throw down and lick any man on the river
Well I poled the Ohio and I poler the Mississippi
And I poled the Missouri when she`s choked with snags
I poled on the wilds and the salts of the Kentucky
And I never met a man that I couldn`t out-brag
Well, Betsy is my shooting iron, she shoots like thunder
And she flashes like the lightening and she kicks like a mule
I can clip an Indian scalp, knock it cleaner than a whistle
I can knock a tin can off the head of a fool
Well, Carpenter`s a name that I guess you heard tell of
I taught that critter everything that he knowed
But he done me dirt on the Yellowstone River
And I crossed his eyes with a musket ball
Well, some say I died on the Yellowstone River
Or was shot by a man by the name of Talbot
But if you want to know the truth about what really happened
You`re gonna have to come knocking on the Devil`s door
