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.

Can 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've got so hungry, didn't know what to do.

I'm gonna get me a catfish too.

Yes, you've been fishin' all the time.

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

I bet your life your lovin' wife.

Catch more fish than you.

Any fish bite, 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 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 been fishin' all the time.

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

I bet your life, your lovin' wife.

Can 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 goin' a-fishin',
