Lyrics
How to Fish
He taught me how to row a boat, where to cast my line
took me to his fishing hole, he fished at all the time
Showed me how to bait a hook, no bluegill could resist
We'd fill up those stringers, he'd say, "Please remember this."
Chorus- Step softly when you walk, Whisper when you talk.
It's best if you don't talk at all.
Don't get your bobber set to deep
just pretend you're asleep
that's how Grandpa taught me how to fish.
I asked him lots of question and I rattle on and on.
He got upset with me when I threw rocks in the pond.
I learned from the Master how to wait patient
Out of the things I learned he shared this one with me.
Chorus- Step softly when you walk,
whisper when you talk.
and it's best if you don't talk at all.
Don't get your bobber set to deep.
just pretend your asleep.
That's how Grandpa taught me how to sleep.
I bet Grandpa's up in heaven
fishing at the Crystal sea.
He'll be reeling his old Zebco
and He'd be telling me.
Chorus- Step softly when you walk
Whisper when you talk
and it's best if you don't talk at all.
Don't get your bobber set too deep
Pretend your asleep.
That's how Grandpa told me how to sleep.
