I down to the fishing hole And I set down with my fishing grabb'd my hook and it got my bait And Jerked me out in the of the lake Huh, it was jump boy I got sunk, kinda on credit
Fishin' down on th' muddy Felt a an' give a big yank I out three old rubber boots A Ford radiator an' a Chevrolet (Nothin' but so I handed it in for National Defence)
Settin' in a with a bucket of beer Hadn't nothin' but didn't much care I guess I was pretty satisfied Had my woman right by my side (Takin' it easy, just Worm been gone off-a that hook for a of hours) (I was busy)
When you go fishin', y' what to do Go set down by the dew Take a piece of string, tie it on yo' Throw it way out in th' of th' hole Find you a good tree and then just set down (Go to sleep, all about it, can't catch nothin' here anyways)
Well, I walked out to a bar And I myself a big alligator gar Drug him home across my was dragging a mile and a half Flippin' an' floppin', I him for a quarter (Shot craps, got in Jall)
Jumped in the and went down deep was a hundred pound cat-fish lying there asleep Well, I jumped on his back and him all aroun' Saddled him up and I into town People runnin', lookin', dogs a-barkin' (Kids a-squallin')
one mornin' I took me a notion To go out in the middle of the ocean Well, throwed me a line, I got me a I didn't get him home way past dark (Was he a man-eater, customer) (But he quite tough enough)
Late night I had me a dream I was out fishin' in a stream my hook with apple-jack Threw out a drink, drug a back (Done pretty good the creek run dry) (I give the fish to the finance company)
