Fish can be bought in the market place,
So it isn't the fish I'm after.
I want to get free from the care-drawn face
And back to an honest laughter,

Like a day on a stream,
Back on the banks of the old fishing hole
Where a fellow can dream.
...
You may talk of stylish raiment,
You may boast your broadcloth fine,
And the price you gave in payment
