There's a Shadhouse over yonder baby. way down Cana road.
There's a Shadhouse over yonder baby. Where that big river flows.
That's where I go once a year, to ease my heavy load.

Wait a minuet something's wrong here, A Shad won't bite my fly.
Wait a minuet something's wrong here, A grown man is about to cry.
I got a bad, bad , bad feeling, I'm gonna be Shadless by and by.

Smokin' fish and drinkin, All day and night.
My Baby's got my Lincoln, well that's allright.
Drive it any place you want Dear, just stay out of my sight.

There's a Shadhouse over yonder baby, we're doing things against the law.
There's a Shadhouse over yonder baby, Please, please don't tell my Pa.
Better break out the hip boots, cause I'm hearin' fishin' tales ten feet tall.
