(album: Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. 3 - 2002)

Betcha' going fishing all o' da' time, baby, going fishing 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
I said, many fish bites if ya' got good bait
I'm goin fishing, my mama going fishing
And baby going fishing too.

I went on down to my fav'rit fishing hole, baby grab myself a pole an' line
Throw my pole on in, caught a nine poun' catfish
Now ya' know I brought 'im home for suppertime
Proving 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 goin fishing, my mama going fishing
And baby going fishing too.

Baby brother 'bout to run me outta my mind say, can I go fishing wi' chu
I took 'im on down to the fishing 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 goin fishing, my mama going fishing
And baby going fishing too.

Put 'im in da' pot baby put 'im in da' pan, honey cook 'im 'til he nice an' brown
Make a batch o' buttermilk, Hoe cakes Mama
An' ya' chew them thangs an' ya' chomp 'em on down
Singing 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 goin fishing, my mama going fishing
And baby going fishing too.

Betcha' going fishing all o' da' time, baby, going fishing too
Bet yo' life, yo' sweet wife, she gonna 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 goin fishing, my mama going fishing
And baby going fishing too.

Betcha' going fishing all o' da' time, baby, going fishing too
Bet yo' life, yo' sweet wife, she gonna catch mo' fish than you
Many fish bites if ya' got good bait
