Lyrics - I Have The Body Of John Wilkes Booth by Clutch

(
Fallon,
Gaster,
Maines,
Sult)
Like
Marlon
Brando, but bigger.
You'll find that creature at the bottom of the deep down
Susquehanna
River.
This one
I had stood right on up to me,
Tore out his hook and declared himself a prodigy.
But oh no, fishing ain't what it used to be.
I've seen some bad years, but this one is just killing me.
One little nibble in thirteen years,
I really pack 'em in.
This one
I had,
I seen it in dreams,
All shacked up with lightning and horizon beams.
Well
I bring 'em on up, and then
I pack 'em on in
In all the places
I've been,
And
I swear it's never been like this before,
Least not since 19 and 44.
But today,
I made a sick discovery,
Lead box in
Sassafras
Cove.
Well
I brought him on up and then
I packed him on in, oh yes,
Now
I'm really cashing in.
Wash of the
Chesapeake and
Appalachian
Blue
Range,
I have discovered the body of
John
Wilkes
Booth.
Yes, it's true,
I have
Mr.
Booth.
Everybody got to make a living somehow.
Do
I hear a million?
Well
I bring 'em on up and then
I pack 'em on in.
