Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained    His old time dentures pitted and coffee stained    Drove a milk truck for an outfit called Dairy Time   Till the cobwebs filled and clouded his mind       Something borrowed, something blue    Rest assured her love was always true    They raised their Sons in a place called Tomales Bay    Then melanoma came and took her away       He doesn't worry but will often pine    theTBiggest obstacle is passin time    He sold his house and bought a big ol' wood trawler    Now he drags the ocean to earn a square dollar       Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained    The salty air helps to fade the pain    A simple man with a simple wish    Affable seas and an occasional load of fish       Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained    Every now and then    Yer gonna get slapped with a slab of rain    Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained    Some die and leave their mark    Some just a stain       Nothin' ventured nothin' gained...
