Primus - Last Salmon Man Lyrics

Send "Last Salmon Man" ringtone to your cell

The river water diverts to other places

To nurture central valley seeds

The northern waters that slosh desert fairways

Fulfill So-Cal golfers needs

The Mighty Chook it used to run the rivers

To the grounds where they spawn

Thin numbers as the shipping ferries waned

Pretty soon they'll all be gone

Jimmy Mac runs the trawler of his father

Who got it passed down from his Pa

Three closed seasons and a banknote on his shoulder

That Jimmy's hidin' from the law

Jimmy watched as the bulk of the fleet

Sold their boats and moved away

But after the stroke he promised to his father

He'd do his best to stay

He'd remember the days when his father used to show him

How to set the temp on the fuel?

His hand upon his shoulder he looked out at the water

Said "Son it is my fear that you'll be the Last Salmon Man."

You're the Last Salmon Man

You're the Last Salmon Man

You're the Last Salmon Man from the MacGoverner's clan

[JAM SESSION]

2010 they re-opened North Cal. waters

To the salmon chasing slew

Four straight days Jimmy trolled the jagged coastline

But the fish were far and few

Jimmy watched as the bulk of the fleet

Packed their boats and moved away

But on his death bed he promised to his father

He'd do his best to stay

[Chorus]

Last Salmon Man

He's the Last Salmon Man

He's the Last Salmon Man

He's the Last Salmon Man from the MacGoverner's clan
