Verse 1 Well I came in a little late last night, I thought she was fast asleep But she rolled over and said sweet heart, would you go fishing with me Well I just couldn’t believe my ears and a feather coulda knocked me down And I couldn’t help thinking after all these years, my babys done come around Verse 2 Well early next morning we’re heading up the Tensaw, well before daylight And she says baby lets get a little privacy, where the big ones bite So we anchor up in the delta swamp and I’m a putting out the line And I feel a kick and as my head goes under I hear that engine whine Chorus See ya later alligator – that aint funny to me That’s all she said as she poured the lead to that 300 Mercury Well I standing on the bank and I a little hungry – looking at the setting sun And I can’t thinking that it’s a possibility – I’m not the only one Verse 3 Well I’m starting think I was a little hasty buying that 4 wheel drive And maybe I shoulda thought a little more before I gave that blonde a ride And maybe if I hadn’t cussed her mama and hocked her diamond ring I wouldn’t be standing in the Tensaw delta, wondering what the night will bring Chorus See ya later alligator – that aint funny to me That’s all she said as she poured the lead to that 300 Mercury Well I standing on the bank and I a little hungry – looking at the setting sun And I can’t thinking that it’s a possibility – I’m not the only one
