Fishin' Blues

(album: What's Up, Tiger Lily? - 1966)

Went up on the hill about twelve o'clock.
Reached right back and got me a pole.
Went to the hardware and got me a hook.
Attached that line right on that hook.
Says you've been a-fishing all the time.
I'm a-going fishing too.
I bet your life, your lovin'wife.
Can catch more fish than you.
Any fish bite if you've got good bait.
Here's a little something I would like to relate.
Any fish bite, you've got good bait.
I'm a-going a-fishing, yes, I'm a-going a-fishing,
I'm a-going a-fishing too.
Looked down the river about one o'clock.
Spied this catfish swimming around.
I've got so hungry, didn't know what to do.
I'm gonna get me a catfish too.
Yes, you've been fishing all the time.
I'm a-going a-fishing too.
I bet your life your loving wife.
Catch more fish than you.
Any fish bite, got good bait.
Here's a little something I would like to relate.
Any fish bite, you've got good bait.
I'm a-going a-fishing, yes, I'm going a-fishing,
I'm a-going a-fishing too.
Put on your skillet, don't never mind your lead.
Mama gonna cook 'em with the short'ning bread.
Says you been fishing all the time.
I'm a-goin a-fishing too.
I bet your life, your loving wife.
Can catch more fish than you.
Any fish bite, if you've got good bait.
Here's a little something I would like to relate.
Any fish bite, you've got good bait.
I'm a-going a-fishing, yes, I'm going a-fishing,
I'm a-going a-fishing too
