lyrics

polecat driftin' all lazy eyed through the twilight fireflies
hiked up overalls twisted all askew wheezin' from the puff of the corn cob pipe
tattered straw hat perched carelessly atop that sun baked brow
casually hidin' behind the lamplight shadows his mischievous smile

throw off those shoes
feel the sand beneath your feet
come and stand in the river for a while

polecat driftin' away
polecatin' vagabondog days
polecat, polecat draggin'
polecat, polecat draggin’
river pulls him on his way

cattails merrily waving in the weary wandering breeze
a constant chorus of salutations to the innocent passerby
stubby toe hangin' in the cool water trailing a tangled web of fishing filament line
stringing along the desperate hope for a little somethin' black pan-fried

throw off those shoes
feel the sand beneath your feet
come and stand in the river for a while

polecat driftin' away…

something looming in the moonlit tide
steamboat churnin' up the river wide
chasin' currents on his lashed up ride
howling madly as the crafts collide

polecat drifting away…
