Primus - Last Salmon Man Lyrics
The river water diverts to other placesTo nurture central valley seedsThe northern waters that slosh desert fairwaysFulfill So-Cal golfers needsThe Mighty Chook, it used to run the riversTo the grounds where they spawnThin numbers, as the shipping ferries wanedPretty soon, they'll all be goneJimmy Mac runs the trawler of his fatherWho got it passed down from his PaThree closed seasons, and a banknote on his shoulderThat Jimmy's hidin' from the lawJimmy watched, as the bulk of the fleetSold their boats and moved awayBut after the stroke, he promised to his fatherHe'd do his best to stayCHORUS:He'd remember the days when his father used to show himHow to set the temp on the fuel?His hand upon his shoulder, he looked out at the waterSaid, "Son it is my fear, that you'll be the Last Salmon Man."You're the Last Salmon ManYou're the Last Salmon ManYou're the Last Salmon Man, from the MacGoverner's? clan*JAM SESSION*2010 they re-opened North Cal. watersTo the salmon chasing slewFour straight days, Jimmy trolled the jagged coastlineBut, the fish were far and fewJimmy watched as the bulk of the fleetPacked their boats and moved awayBut on his death bed, he promised to his fatherHe'd do his best to stayCHORUSLast Salmon ManHe's the Last Salmon ManHe's the Last Salmon ManHe's the Last Salmon Man, from the MacGoverner's? clan
