Lyrics

Found me a willow. Down by the meadow
Broke me a branch off. Built me pole

Went over to the five and dime. Bought me some fishin' line.
Tied it the willow. Built me a pole.
Chorus:
Built me a pole, So I can lay my head on the ground.
Built me a pole, so I can listen to the river going down.
Takin' all my troubles back to town.

Went over to the fence line. Cut a little barbed wire.
Tied it to the kite string. Built me a pole.

Got me a tin can. Put some worms in.
Stuck one on the barbed wire Built me a pole.
CH:
Sittin' by an old tree. With no shoes on my feet.
Whistling an old song. Built me pole.

I dropped my line in. Down in the Basin.
Floatin' down the river. Built me a pole.
CH:
Found me a willow. Down by the meadow.
Broke me a branch off. Built me pole.
