Bet ya goin' fishin' all o' de time Baby goin fishin' too Bet your life your sweet wife Catch more fish than you
Many fish bites if ya got good bait Uh here's a little tip that I would like to relate Many fish bite if you 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 grabbed me a pole and line Throw my pole on in, caught a nine pound catfish Now you know I brought him home for suppertime
Provin' any fish bites if you got good bait Uh here's a little tip that I would like to relate Many fish bites if you got good bait
I'm a 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 wit' you?' I took him on down to de fishin' hole Now what do you think that he did do? Pulled a great big fish out the bottom of the pond Now he laughed and jumped 'cause he was real gone
Many fish bites if you got good bait I'm a goin fishin', Yes I'm goin fishin' and my baby goin fishin' too
Put em in the pot baby Put him in the pan, Honey cook him till he nice n brown Make a batch of buttermilk hoecakes mama, And chew dem things And then 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 you got good bait
I'm a goin fishin' Yes I'm goin fishin' And my baby goin fishin' too
Play de blues
Bet ya' goin fishin' all o' the time Baby goin' fishin' too Bet your life your sweet wife She gonna catch more 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 you got good bait
I'm a goin' fishin' Mama's goin' fishin' And the baby goin' fishin' too
