Whiskey and Fish - Joe Purdy

Yesterday I went a’wandering so I could ease my head

So I laid right down and closed my eyes on top of a little bed

I laid right down and closed my eyes on top of a little bed

Drop a rope to the river folks and they took me right in

They fed me fish and whiskey and then I went to sleep again

Oh, they fed me fish and whiskey and then I went to sleep again

Guess there I saw Samantha

She was sitt’n on the rise

Said, Lord, if I am dreamin' please don’t let me open my eyes

Said, Lord, if I am dreamin' please don’t let me open my eyes

Well the rain let up and the sun came out

Samantha took my hand

She led me down to the water’s edge and then we dove right in

She led me down to the water’s edge and then we dove right in

I said, Oh sweet Samantha, you know I could fall for you

But I know that you will leave me here before the morning dew

I know that you will leave me here before the morning dew

Say, Yes, it’s true.

I have to go, but I hope you won’t forget

The time you closed your eyes and laid right down on this little bed

The time you closed your eyes and laid right down on this little bed…
