Hook (chanty, repeatable)
Sorry my boy, we can’t go fishin’ again
Need some sage burnin’, rabbit foot in your hand
Sorry my boy, you bring bad luck on the bank
Every time you show up, fish disappear—damn
Sorry my boy, we can’t go fishin’ again
Line stay dry when you stand where I stand
Sorry my boy, you bring bad luck on the bank
I love you like family—but you cursed, my man

Verse 1
Pulled up early, sun barely breathin’
Coffee black, dock still sleepin’
Soon as you step out, wind start tweakin’
Bait go dead, reel stop squeakin’
I done seen superstition, I ain’t crazy
But every trip with you get shady
Last week skunked, week before maybe
Three trips in—bro you jinxed me
Got saints on the dash, cross on the mirror
Fish finder blank when you get nearer
I ain’t mad, just tryna be clear
You stay in the truck, fish reappear
⸻
Hook
Sorry my boy, we can’t go fishin’ again
Need some sage burnin’, rabbit foot in your hand
Sorry my boy, you bring bad luck on the bank
Every time you show up, fish disappear—damn
⸻
Verse 2
Country logic, old dock rules
Grandpa said “don’t fish with fools”
Bad moon risin’, wrong day too
You wore that hat? Yeah that explains you
Burn sage by the tailgate door
Sprinkle salt where you stood before
Say a prayer, knock on wood
I wanna catch ‘em—wish you could
Ain’t personal, it’s the vibe you bring
Bass won’t bite, birds won’t sing
You my brother, that ain’t changin’
Just don’t touch my rod when I’m castin’
⸻
Bridge (half-spoken, funny)
Look…
You can drive the boat
You can hold the net
You can film the clip
But don’t throw the line yet
⸻
Final Hook (bigger, rowdy)
Sorry my boy, we can’t go fishin’ again
Need a full cleanse before you fish with the men
Sorry my boy, you bring bad luck on the bank
Delta don’t lie—we skunk when you came
Sorry my boy, we can’t go fishin’ again
Till the curse break loose and the luck come in
Sorry my boy, bad luck on the bank
Love you to death—but you stayin’ on land
