The Ol Diamond Back Sturgeon Fisherman S Chronicles P lyrics

=========================================
Primus - The Ol` Diamond Back Sturgeon
(Fisherman`s Chronicles Part 3)
=========================================

The old diamondback sturgeon came swimmin` along
Minding his business one day
Rooting and sniffing and urging to spawn
In the mud flats of San Pablo Bay

A scent came around so he followed his snout
He found what was to his surprise
A golden morsel, a tidbit, a tight bunch of grass shrimp
Was there right before this buck`s eyes

He circle round twice and he took a big whiff
Then sucked up this savory meal
Then came a jolt and to the diamondback`s surprise
Through his lips cut the cold, barbed steel

In a panic the old diamondback sped to the north
He sped to the east, west and south
But the harder he swam, he still could not break free
From the `tugging` that pulled at his mouth

The old diamondback sturgeon came swimmin` along
Minding his business one day
