Primus - Last Salmon Man
The river water diverts to other placesTo nurture central valley seedsThe northern water that sloshes desert fairwaysFulfil So-Cal Golfers' needsThe mighty chinook that used to run the riversTo the grounds where they would spawnThin in numbers as the tributaries wanePretty soon they'll all be goneJimmy Mac runs the trawler of his fatherWho got it passed down from his paThree closed seasons and the bank note on his shoulderNow Jimmy's hiding from the lawJimmy watched as the bulk of the fleetSold their boats and moved awayBut after the stroke he promised to his fatherHe'd do his best to stay ... in Bodega BayHe remembered the days when his father used to show himHow to set and tend all the gearWith his hand on his shoulder he looked out at the watersAnd said, "Son it is my fear"That you'll be the last salmon manYou're the last salmon manYou're the last salmon manYou're the last salmon man of the MacDonagal clan"2010, they reopened NorCal watersTo the salmon chasing slewFour straight days Jimmy trolled the jagged coastlineBut the fish were far and fewJimmy watched as the bulk of the fleetPacked their boats and moved awayBut on his deathbed he promised to his fatherHe'd do his best to stay ... in Bodega BayBodega BayBodega BayBodega BayBodega BayBodega BayBodega BayBodega BayHe remembered the days when his father used to show himHow to set and tend all the gearWith his hand on his shoulder he looked out at the watersAnd said, "Son it is my fear"That you'll be the last salmon manYou're the last salmon manYou're the last salmon manYou're the last salmon man of the MacDonagal clan"Last salmon manHe's the last salmon manHe's the last salmon manHe's the last salmon man of the MacDonagal clan
