Original true story about the time I was fishing on Coroboree Billabong in the Northern Territory Australia and a massive saltwater crocodile jumped off the bank into the water as I went past. Song and music video by Gary Crockett.

00:00Down by Corobo, rebuilt upon green and wild
00:12There's a legend of an old man, Crocodile
00:16Seventeen feet of scale at night
00:20Lurking in shadows, waiting for the night
00:25Me and my fourteen-foot tin boat
00:28Steady and strong
00:29Rolling through water, singing an old man's song
00:33Till old man Croc jumped off the bank so fast
00:38Into the lilies, gave a fight that would last
00:42I took a fast, my heart in my throat
00:46Paddling harder, faster in that tin boat
00:51Old man Crocodile with eyes so cold
00:55In the water lilies, stories are told
00:58His jaws were wide, his teeth like white blades
01:03In that moment felt the darkness of shakes
01:07The water ripped, the lilies did dance
01:11In Corobo, rebuilt upon green and a second chance
01:16Now when the wind whispers, I hear his tale
01:21Of old man Croc, covered in scales
01:25Been coming here, I'm coming here
01:26Been coming here for many long years
01:28In a tin boat filled with my fears
01:32I took a fast, I took a fast, my heart in my throat
01:38Paddling harder, faster in that tin boat
01:42Old man Crocodile with eyes so cold
01:46Old man Crocodile with eyes so cold
01:48In the water lilies, stories are told
01:50His jaws were wide, his teeth like white blades
01:55In that moment felt the darkness of shades
02:00The water ripped, the lilies didn't dance
02:06In Corobo, rebuilt upon green and a second chance
02:11In that moment felt the darkness of shades
02:13The water ripped, the lilies didn't dance
02:16The water ripped, the lilies didn't dance
02:18In Corobo, rebuilt upon green and a second chance
02:20In that moment felt the darkness of shades
02:21The water ripped, the lilies didn't dance
02:23In Corobo, rebuilt upon green and a second chance
02:25Took a fast, my heart in my throat
02:28Paddling harder, faster in that tin boat
02:32Old man Crocodile with eyes so cold
02:36In the water lilies, stories are told
02:40Old man Crocodile with eyes so cold
02:55In the water lilies, stories are told
03:00In that moment felt the light approaching
03:07Aum.
