Leave Your Old Fish At Home

A man’s gotta know when it’s his time to go.
A man’s gotta know when it’s his time to go.
Say goodbye to the devil you know.
And say hello to the one below.
You could say hello to the one below.

And leave your old fish at home, boy
Leave your old fish at home
You could groom your soul with a fine-tooth comb
And leave your old fish at home
Leave your old fish at home

Big black snake gonna shed his skin.
Big black snake gonna shed his skin.
Don’t mean that he’ll be born again.
Still crawls on his belly deep in sin.
Still crawls on his belly deep in sin

And leave your old fish at home, boy
Leave your old fish at home
You could groom your soul with a fine-tooth comb
And leave your old fish at home
Leave your old fish at home

It’s a hard road when you’re on your own.
A mean hard road out on your own.
Mad dog’s got a mouth full of foam. ‘a0
Better stay away from mad dog’s bone
Better stay away from mad dog’s bone

And leave your old fish at home, boy
Leave your old fish at home
You could groom your soul with a fine-tooth comb
And leave your old fish at home
Leave your old fish at home

Leave your old fish at home, boy
Leave your old fish at home
You could groom your soul with a fine-tooth comb
And leave your old fish at home
Leave your old fish at home
Leave your stinkin’ old fish at home
