The Ballad of Caleb's Fishing Poles

[Verse] Caleb went down to the riverbank, With hopes of catchin' more than just a cold, But every time he'd try to cast his line, He'd snap another fishing pole. [Verse 2] He ain't got the touch, but he's got the heart, You'd think he'd learn to be a bit more slow, But he swings that rod like a battle axe, And there goes another fishing pole. [Chorus] Oh, Caleb's always breakin' his fishing poles, Snappin' 'em like matchsticks and takin' a toll, He's got the worst luck that you ever did know, Oh, Caleb's always breakin' his fishing poles. [Verse 3] Bought a brand new rod down at Joe's Bait Shop, Swore this one surely would last, But one swift cast and a stumble back, Another one gone in a blast. [Verse 4] His buddies told him, "Man, take it slow, You're jinxin' every pole you own," But Caleb just grinned and shrugged his shoulders, Said, "I guess I like fishin' alone." [Chorus] Oh, Caleb's always breakin' his fishing poles, Snappin' 'em like matchsticks and takin' a toll, He's got the worst luck that you ever did know, Oh, Caleb's always breakin' his fishing poles.
