Lyrics

CHESAPEAKE BAY

Refrain

I like to play
Down on Chesapeake Bay
Where the blues and the rock fish
Are making my day
Where you have so much fun
With a rod or a gun
And the food?s so fantastic
You eat just for fun.

We leave from the dock
In the dark of the night
We set out the anchor
By dawns breaking light
The suns on the rise
As we bait up the line
And you know that you?re
In for one hell of a time

Refrain

God must have smiled
When he made up this bay
Where the fresh and the saltwater
Mix in a way
That the oysters and crabs
And the fowl and the fish
Flourish here in abundance
And grace a fine dish

Refrain

We pull in the lines
At the end of the day
You fire up the engines
It?s anchors away
The props turn the water
To snowy white foam
He turns her around
And we?re headed for home

Refrain

There?s rockfish on ice
And a smile on your face
As you gaze all around
At this fabulous place
It?s the sights and the sounds
And the tastes and the smells
The atmosphere here
Just rings all of my bells

Refrain

From old Baltimore
To Annapolis town
Where the Naval Academy
Sits like a crown
There?s antiques and shopping
And fabulous sights
And every conceivable seafood delight

Refrain
