Lake Erie Perch Blues Lyrics

I left my home, my friends and family yeah

I guess it was in back in 2015

We left that cold, that ice, that snow back in Erie

Took the wife and kids south where that sunshine will be, yeah

Settled in a new house, and a new routine

We found ourselves short on summer clothes and invested in sunscreen

Now I miss my kin, my hometown cronies, yeah

We can't share a beer, or a shot of whiskey

But keeping in touch it ain't so bad with modern technology

Now I miss those north woods, that tranquility, Yeah

But I sill get my chance, after every thanksgiving

But the thing I think I miss the most is Lake Erie, Perch that is

The Lake Erie perch, it is so tasty, Yeah

Just drop down your line with a shiny mini

Bread the fillets up just so, deep fry them in Crisco

I got the Lake Erie perch blues, what's a man to do

I got the Lake Erie perch blues, what's a man to do

I'll have to get me some Lake Erie Perch

Make sure they're fried in Crisco, Yeah
