I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues I got the blue marlin blues First one off the dock, long before dawn Headed to the blue water, won't take long A box full of [Incomprehensible] just right Still hurting from that party last night Thirty miles later, get the cold lines in Scrambling 'round the cockpit thinking we're gonna win Seven hours later, we still ain't caught a thing The mood on this boat sure has changed I got the blue marlin blues from my hat to my shoes I use to catch them in twos, no matter which bed I choose How many more can I lose, it got me drinking the booze I got the blue marlin blues My head went swimming right behind my bait I'm all lit up, man, I just couldn't wake I picked up the rod, I put it in three spool Thinking I'll shake this blue marlin blues He knocked it out of the clear and I fed him some line I locked it up and I begin to whine He came out of the water, spit the bait right at me Then disappear back into the sea I got the blue marlin blues from my hat to my shoes I use to catch them in twos, no matter which bed I choose How many more can I lose, it got me drinking the booze I got the blue marlin blues
