Lyrics
Hey there guy! Every year me and the guys
Take a week off work in late February
And hit old Lake Winnebago to try and get us a sturgeon
They're pretty rare so you don't see many if any
But the fellas and I devised a good luck song that helped me last year
And it goes like this
I'm gonna spear me a sturgeon, get me a sturgeon
Hit me a sturgeon with the spear!
And while I'm waiting to spear me a sturgeon
I think I'll drink one more beer!
Well it was late February out on the lake
Got the ice saw off the truck - cut out a big ice cake
Slid the shanty over, and stocked a snowbank with beer
Turned on the little heater and I hung up my spear
Well I'm the best sturgeon spearer on the whole lake
And when I go home tonight I'm eating sturgeon steak!
I just gotta be patient and wait for the slaughter
I opened a beer and started to peer into de murky green water
I'm gonna spear me a sturgeon, get me a sturgeon
Hit me a sturgeon with the spear!
And while I'm waiting to spear me a sturgeon
I think I'll drink one more beer!
About five hours later, my eyes were getting sore
I knew Charlie had a grill at his shanty next door
We grilled a half o' dozen brats and swapped a story or two
After some bull, some brew and brats I knew de time was past due
I said an 80 pounder's what I'm gonna bushwhack
So's I better header back to my own ice shack!
As I stepped inside, a big lunker swam by
I said holy crap fish! You best prepare to die!
I threw with all my might and says Cripes, I think I got him!
But the spear veered to the left and stuck into de bottom
The lunker swam away as I let out a cry
With a tear, another beer, I was teed off guy!
I'm gonna spear me a sturgeon, get me a sturgeon
Hit me a sturgeon with the spear!
And while I'm waiting to spear me a sturgeon
I think I'll drink one more beer!
Well I felt a little better after four more beers
So I got myself together and I wiped up my tears
Then I saw a shadow deep down in the dark
To my surprise it was the size of a great white shark!
I aimed and threw the spear dead square in his back
It took a 20-minute fight to get that thing in de shack!
At the registration center it weighed 202
I said now that's a trophy sturgeon and I ordered a brew!
I'm gonna spear me a sturgeon, get me a sturgeon
Hit me a sturgeon with the spear!
And I'm glad that I just speared me a sturgeon
Cause I just ran out of beer!
Everybody now!
I'm gonna spear me a sturgeon, get me a sturgeon
Hit me a sturgeon with the spear!
And I'm glad that I just speared me a sturgeon
Cause I just ran out of beer!
