You Gotta Have A License

(Album: Buck Owens Sings Tommy Collins - 1963)

Me and brother Bill was going fishing down to the river one day
Had a can of worms and a willer pole a big can of minners and a lot of sourdough
The fish were a biting we're gonna have fun
Then a big man come and say I'm a game warden
And he chases me and brother Bill away
He said take 'em out of sack and throw them all back and the big man him did say
Boys you gotta have a license yeah you gotta have a license
Well we asked him why and the man replied cause you gotta have a license

Me driving down the open highway passing up a highway patrolman
Let me go right along and I'd a no do wrong trees go by me think like I'm a flying
I sing a little song and I have lot of fun
Then a whistle blow and fore I know the big man he rolled my way
Me pull 'em down and a hit a the ground
Shaking so cause I have a know and the big man him do say
