i took myself a fishing trip and sailed out from the bay
in search of the big one we gently sailed away
out in to the ocean we anchored out at sea
to a fishing point. where the fish should be
suddenly a marlin appeared from the blue
followed by some others there were quite a few
jumping in the air there before my eyes
they were very big very big in size.
i baited up my hook and cast it the sea
maybe catch a marlin have him for my tea
suddenly my rod began to jump and shake
as i reeled it in my arms began to ache.
the rod it bent in two then a great big snap
marlin got away he escaped his trap
then the tide it turned we headed to the bay
left with just a story of the one that got away
