Hot Time In Old Town Tonight - Mel McDaniel

Long about evening when the sun goes down

Down on the Swanee where the water’s brown

Half a can of worms and an old cane pole

Old man’s fishin' in the swimming hole

Cork bobbin' skeeters bite

Cyprus shadows in the cool moonlight

Mem’ries swimmin' in the warm moonshine

Hot time in old town tonight

Whiskered fish waller in the bottom mud

He’s been around since Noah’s flood

Stole a worm or two from his old manfriend

Nibble nibble see the old man grin

Cork bobbin' skeeters bite

Cyprus shadows in the cool moonlight

Mem’ries swimmin' in the warm moonshine

Hot time in old town tonight

Moon shines brighter in the southern night

Fish still loose but the old man’s tight

Grab a bite and run then it’s back for more

Catfish eatin' while the old man snores

Cork bobbin' skeeters bite

Cyprus shadows in the cool moonlight

Mem’ries swimmin' in the warm moonshine

Hot time in old town tonight

Cork bobbin' skeeters bite

Cyprus shadows in the cool moonlight

Mem’ries swimmin' in the warm moonshine

Hot time in old town tonight

Hot time in old town tonight
