When I’m fishing,
And the sun starts to go down,
I hit a snag and it’s a drag,
Gotta put another hook on.

I cry out it’s tragic,
I start to fumble without light,
And my eyes they got old and that really blows,
In the shadows of the night.

No sign of a flashlight glowing,
Might not even find my way home
Tying fishing knots in the dark,
Fishing knots in the dark.

Do your fingers,
Do they ever let you down,
Without sight as your guide, the line slides,
You drop another jig down.

You start bitching,
But it’s just a waste of time,
You can’t tie, it’s no lie,
Got a hook but you can’t fish without a line

No sign of a flashlight glowing,
Might not even find my way home
Tying fishing knots in the dark,
Fishing knots in the dark.
Fishing knots in the dark.
