Blue Marlin Blues Songtext
von George Strait

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 ballyhoo rigged just right
Still hurting from that party last night


30 miles later, get the cold lines in
Scrambling 'round the cockpit thinking we′re gonna win
7 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 used to catch them in twos, no matter which bait I choose
How many more can I lose, it got me drinking the booze
I got the blue marlin blues

I had one 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 free spool
Thinking I′ll shake these 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 disappeared back into the sea


I got the blue marlin blues from my hat to my shoes
I used to catch them in twos, no matter which bait I choose
How many more can I lose, it got me drinking the booze
I got the blue marlin blues
