Blue Marlin Blues Lyrics by George Strait

Strait Out of the Box, Pt. 2

2011

[Intro]
I got the blue marlin blues, I got the blue marlin blues
I got the blue marlin blues, I got the blue marlin blues
I got the blue marlin blues, I got the blue marlin blues
I got the blue marlin blues, I got the blue marlin blues
[Verse 1]
First one off the dock, long before dawn
Headed to the blue water, won't take long
A box full of ballyhoo, rigged just right
Still hurting from that party last night
[Verse 2]
Thirty miles later, get the call lines in
Scramble' round the cockpit thinking we're gonna win
Seven hours later, we still ain't caught a thing
Mood on this boat sure has changed
[Chorus]
I got the blue marlin blues from my hat to my shoes
I used to catch 'em in twos no matter which bait I'd choose
How many more can I lose, they got me drinking the booze
I got the blue marlin blues
[Verse 3]
I had one swimming right behind my bait
All lit up man, I just couldn't wait
I picked up the rod, I put it in free spool
Thinking I'll shake these blue marlin blues
[Verse 4]
He knocked it out of the clip and I fed him some line
I locked it up and I began to wind
He came out of the water, spit the bait right at me
And disappeared back into the sea
[Chorus]
I got the blue marlin blues from my hat to my shoes
I used to catch 'em in twos no matter which bait I'd choose
How many more can I lose, they got me drinking the booze
I got the blue marlin blues
