Well, my daddy was a bear in the Allegheny Mountains
And my mother was a
'gator in the Ohio
I was born full-growed at the forks of the river
And I cut my teeth on
a catfish bone
Oh, my name is Mike Fink, I'm a keelboat poler
I'm a Salt River
roarer and I eat live coals
I'm a half-alligator and I ride tornaders
And I can
out-feather, out-jump, out-hop, out-skip
Throw down and lick any man on the
river
Well I poled the Ohio and I poler the Mississippi
And I poled the Missouri
when she's choked with snags
I poled on the wilds and the salts of the Kentucky
And I
never met a man that I couldn't out-brag
Well, Betsy is my shooting iron, she shoots like
thunder
And she flashes like the lightening and she kicks like a mule
I can clip an Indian
scalp, knock it cleaner than a whistle
I can knock a tin can off the head of a
fool
Well, Carpenter's a name that I guess you heard tell of
I taught that critter
everything that he knowed
But he done me dirt on the Yellowstone River
And I crossed his
eyes with a musket ball
Well, some say I died on the Yellowstone River
Or was shot
by a man by the name of Talbot
But if you want to know the truth about what really
happened
You're gonna have to come knocking on the Devil's door
