Fishing Blues

Betcha' goin' fishin' all o' da' time
Baby goin' fishin' too.
Bet yo' life, Yo' sweet wife
Catch mo' fish than you.
Many fish bites if ya' got good bait,
Here’s a little tip that I would like to relate.
Many fish bites if ya' got good bait.
I’m a goin fishin', Yes I’m goin' fishin,
And my baby goin' fishin' too.
I went on down to my favorite fishin' hole
Baby grab me a pole an' line.
Throw my pole on in, caught a nine poun' catfish
Now ya' know I brought him home for suppertime.
Provin' any fish bites if ya' got good bait,
Here’s a little tip that I would like to relate.
Many fish bites if ya' got good bait.
I’ma goin fishin', Yes I’m goin' fishin,
And my baby goin' fishin' too.
Baby brother 'bout to run me outta my mind,
Say, can I go fishin' wi' chu?
I took 'I'm on down to the fishin' hole
Now what do you think that he did do?
Pulled a great big fish out da' bottom o' da pond,
Now he laughed and jumped 'cause he was real gone.
Many fish bites if ya' got good bait.
I’m a goin fishin', Yes I’m goin' fishin,
And my baby goin' fishin' too
Put him in da' pot baby put him in da' pan
Honey cook him 'til he nice an' brown.
Make a batch o' buttermilk, Hoe cakes Mama
An' ya' chew them thangs an' ya' chomp 'em on down
Singin' any fish bites if ya' got good bait,
Here’s a little tip that I would like to relate.
Many fish bites if ya' got good bait.
I’m a goin fishin', Yes I’m goin' fishin,
And my baby goin' fishin' too.
Play da' blues…
Betcha' goin' fishin' all o' da' time
Baby goin' fishin' too.
Bet yo' life, Yo' sweet wife
She gonna Catch mo' fish than you.
Many fish bites if ya' got good bait,
Oh Here’s a little tip that I would like to relate.
Many fish bites if ya' got good bait.
I’ma goin fishin', Mama’s goin' fishin,
And the baby goin' fishin' too.
