BRING THE SALMON HOME

Life is good on Steamboat Slough
You're born just knowing what to do
Build a boat and find a crew
To bring the salmon home ya home
To bring the salmon home
We know where they like to mate
Where they like to congregate
We're in no hurry we can wait
To bring the salmon home ya home
To bring the salmon home
Lars will cook and Pat will sing
Elmo does most everything
To set the gillnets in a ring
To bring the salmon home ya home
To bring the salmon home
From the seine or off the hook
The spring the coho and Chinook
From every pool every nook
We'll bring the salmon home ya home
We'll bring the salmon home
Pack the ice and stow the gear
It wants to rot so quickly here
We'll make it last another year
To bring the salmon home ya home
To bring the salmon home
Grab your jackets clear the deck
The engine needs another check
A storm is coming what the heck
We'll bring the salmon home ya home
We'll bring the salmon home
