For rich or for poor

you said that you do

but that almighty dollar

sure got the hook on you



if you'd only take the time

it's well worth the wait



You said you had another fish to fry

and it was time for you to go

but that's alright with me

because I've got a mullet to smoke



St. Marks River

on a Sunday afternoon

just me and my mullet

and we ain't got time for you



ol' mullets ain't that pretty

and they take a while to smoke

for me it was well worth the wait

for you it was just too slow



you headed for shallow water

it matches your shallow mind



Some like it blackened, some like it fried

I like to smoke it and take my time
