Clutch - I Have the Body of John Wilkes Booth lyrics

[Clutch - I Have the Body of John Wilkes Booth lyrics]

Like Marlon Brando, but bigger
You'll find that creature at the bottom
Of the deep down Susquehanna River
This one I had stood right on up to me
Tore out his hook and
Declared himself a prodigy
This one I had it turned bright like the sun
Went around three times and
Departed with the dove

But oh no, fishing ain't what it used to be
I've seen some bad years
But this one is just killing me
One little nibble in thirteen years
I really pack 'em in
This one I had, I seen it in dreams
All shacked up with lightning
And horizon beams well I bring 'em on up
And then I pack 'em on in
In all the places I've been
And I swear it's never been like this before
Least not since 19 and 44
But today, I made a sick discovery
Lead box in Sassafras Cove
Well I brought him on up and
Then I packed him on in, oh yes
Now I'm really cashing in

Wash of the Chesapeake and
Appalachian Blue Range
I have discovered the body
Of John Wilkes Booth
Yes, it's true, I have Mr booth
Everybody got to make a living somehow
Do I hear a million?

Well I bring 'em on up and
Then I pack 'em on in
