She sits on the dock a fishin' in the water uh, huh I don't know her name she's the fisherman's daughter uh, huh Come on down to my boat baby Come on down where we can play Come on down to my boat baby Come on down we'll sail away. She smiled so nice like she wants to come with me uh, huh But she's tied to the dock and she can't get free Come on down to my boat baby Fish all day sleep all night Father never lets her out of his sight Soon I'm gonna have to get my knife and cut that rope, cut that rope Then we can go fishin' in my little red boat Make you happy in my little red boat so come on down to my boat baby
