Tishamingo smoked mullet lyrics

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
