Fishing Blues

Went up on the hill about twelve o'clock

Reached right back and got me a pole

Went to the hardware and got me a hook

Attached that line right on that hook

Says you've been a-fishin' all the time, I'm a-goin' fishin' too

I bet your life, your lovin' wife, I catch more fish than you

Any fish bite if you've got good bait

Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate

Any fish bite, you've got good bait

I'm a-goin' a-fishin', yes, I'm a-goin' a-fishin'

I'm a-goin' a-fishin' too

Looked down the river about one o'clock

Spied this catfish swimmin' around

I got so hungry, didn't know what to do

I'm gonna get me a catfish too

Says you've been a-fishin' all the time, I'm a-goin' fishin' too

I bet your life, your lovin' wife, I catch more fish than you

Any fish bite if you've got good bait

Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate

Any fish bite, you've got good bait

I'm a-goin' a-fishin', yes, I'm a-goin' a-fishin'

I'm a-goin' a-fishin' too

Put on your skillet, don't never mind your lead

Mama gonna cook 'em with the short'nin' bread

Says you've been a-fishin' all the time, I'm a-goin' fishin' too

I bet your life, your lovin' wife, I catch more fish than you

Any fish bite if you've got good bait

Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate

Any fish bite, you've got good bait

I'm a-goin' a-fishin', yes, I'm a-goin' a-fishin'

I'm a-goin' a-fishin' too
