Trout Flashing in Amerikanadia

                                                                                                                 Robert Wills, 1971

My lover is a nature girl, she finds morels, and talks to squirrels

She is the painter of the world

Oh, well I flash like a rainbow trout

Oh, she plays a little more line out

Oh, well I felt that hook sink in my mouth

     She had the bait that I had been waiting for,

     I took it; hook, line, and sinker

My lady came before the war, she promised less, and gave me more

I was the stranger on the shore

Oh, she stood there like a flaming Greek

Yeah, my lips moved, but I could not speak

Oh, I laughed until I fell down, weak

     She had the bait that I had been waiting for,

     I took it; hook, line, and sinker

That was many years ago, she loves me still, she told me so

I'm about as lucky as can be

Yeah, well I dance, like a gypsy king

Yeah, she dresses like my harem queen

Oh, we dream together everything,

     She had the bait that I had been waiting for,

     I took it; hook, line, and sinker
