"Sinkers Hooks And Things" Original By Doug Payne

Lyrics:

I remember when my father passed away,
the very last thing he had to say,
with the twinkle in his eye,
just about to die,
I feel the pain is slipping away.
Son I think I´ll beat the basted today.

Death is a part of his story
Chapter ends the new one starts.
The things my father done for me
They´ve been written in my heart

They locked his house and took away the key,
cut down half the roses and the tree.
They threw out all those tins
of sinkers, hooks and things.
But they didn´t take his favorite recipe,
or the many tricks he left inside of me.

They took away his hat and his coat,
rocking chair, tackle box and boat.
But They couldn't take the pride,
I felt when as he died.
and They left me with his sense of right and wrong,
They left in me the things that make me strong
