When I was young,

But older than one,

My father said, “Let’s go together

And leave your sister and mother”

The lure was selected with great thought

The lure I chose was the one I bought

I caught the bass

With just one cast

The bass fought hard

He was just the right card

To win the game and tournament

The money won gave me encouragement

Yes, my first bass was caught

With the lure I bought

When I was young

But older than one
