[tom martin]

[jeff reed]

PROUD MARY.....easy to change words to suit.

[chaunc]

how about Drag buster? it could be set to the ghost buster song. who you gonna catch, the drag buster! give it a go tommy.

[Chad]

I know I have heard one called Walleye! set to the Rawhide theme.

Trolling, trolling, trolling, Walleye!
In wind and stormy weather, We always fish together, Walleye!

Cast it out, reel it in, cast it out reel it in, cast it out reel it in, Walleye

Something like that!

[Phil T.]

Sixpack and leeches by my side.

[Ed]

How about changing should have been a cowboy to should have been a walleye??

[patch]

I agree with Chad...truly the walleye song with words put to the music of the old "Rawhide" theme song is the best walleye song I have ever heard...and I have heard several.

It may go a little more like:
Bait em up,
cast em out
cast em out
reel em in
Bait em up
Cast em out
Walleye...

and
Trollin trollin trollin
Keep them (something something)
Walleyes...

sorry not much help when ya can't
remember the words, but it's a classic!

If it is really REALLY important, I might
be able to find the words somewhere in the next
few days...

Tom:
here goes.And I'm sorry to say i am completely sober as I write this.
This is sung to the tune of "Come out Virginia,Don't let Me Wait" by Billy Joel:

Wake up you fisherman
Don't be too late
You largemouth guys start much too late
And sooner or later we strap on our bait
We might as well be the ones
Havin some walleye fun.....

You might have heard we run in a dangerous crowd
Crayfish,shiners and worms abound
We might be trollin a bit too loud
Aw but that never hurt no one
So come on you eye guys
Go wet a line
Throw out a marker and have a good time
That finicky school is hiding behind
places the sun don't shine

Hey guys it's walleye time.....

You got a nice shad rap and a loomis rod for your birthday....
You got a rapala....ooh and a hot-n-tot..
But you launched and you didn't get quite
quite enough information.
Fished all day and didn't catch crap....
Because you didn't have a topo map...oh oh oh oh.
Ok enough I can't go on w/ this stupid thing any longer. Whoever actually sings this should be well pickled.....better yet make sure everyone else is............

[bwilson]

actually the name of the song is "only the good die young" by billy joel. apologies to him are in order.

[Ness]

Hey, I enjoyed your song and Billy Joel probably
would too :-)
