Fishin' Blues

I betcha' goin' fishin' all o' the time

Baby goin' fishin' too

Bet you life, your sweet wife

Is gonna catch more fish than you

Many fish bites if you got good bait

Here's a little tip that I would like to relate

With my pole and my line

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

And my baby goin' fishin' too

I went on down my favorite fishin' hole

Baby got myself a pole an' line

Caught a nine poun' catfish

On the bottom, yes I got him

And I brought him home to my mom about supper time

Singin' many fish bites if you got good bait

Here's a little tip that I would like to relate

Many fish bites if you got good bait

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

And my baby goin' fishin' too

Baby brother 'bout to run me up outta my mind

Sayin', "Can I go fishin' with you?"

So I took him on down to the favorite fishin' hole

Now what do you think that brother of mine did do?

Caught a seven poun' catfish

On the bottom yes he got him

Took him home to mama he was real gone

With his pole and his line

He was goin' fishin', yes he goin' fishin'

And baby goin' fishin' too

Put him in the pot, baby put him in the pan

Mama cook him till he nice an' brown

Get yourself a batch o' buttermilk, whole cakes mama

An' you put that sucker on the table and eat it on down

Singin' many fish bites if you got good bait

Well here's a little tip that I would like to relate

With my pole and my line

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

My baby gone fishin' too

I betcha' goin' fishin' all o' the time

Mama goin' fishin' too

Bet you life, your sweet life

I gonna catch more fish than you

Many fish bites if you got good bait

Here's a little tip that I would like to relate

With my pole and my line

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

And my baby goin' fishin' too

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

And my baby goin' fishin' too

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

And my baby goin' fishin' too
