That old Jackfish swimming up the stream, I asked that Jackfish what did he mean. Just baited a hook to catch a shad, The first thing he bit was my old Dad. 
Sing fal de rol de ee-do, ee-do I-do Fal de rol de ee-do, ee-do-I. Fal de rol de ee-do, ee-do I-do, Fal de rol de ee-do, ee-do-I. 
Fishpole broke and I got mad And down to the bottom went old Dad. I grabbed that Jackfish by the snout, And turned that Jackfish wrong side out. 
Sing fal de rol de ee-do, ee-do I-do Fal de rol de ee-do, ee-do-I. Fal de rol de ee-do, ee-do I-do, Fal de rol de ee-do, ee-do-I.
