SONG:Fishing Blues

Betcha' goin' fishing, all the time
baby goin fishing too
bet your life, your sweet wife
catch more fish than you
Many fish bites, if you 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 fishing, yes i'm goin fishing
and my baby goin fishing, too
I went on down to my favorite fishing hole
baby grabbed me a pole and line
throwed my pole on in
caught a 9 pound catfish
now you know i brought him home for supper time

Proving, any fish bites if you 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 fishing, yes i'm goin fishing
and my baby goin fishing, too
Baby brother ‘bout to run me outta my mind
say, can i go fishing with you?
i took him on down to the fishing hole
now what did 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 fishing, yes i'm goin fishing
and my baby goin fishing, too
Put him in the pot baby put him in the pan
honey cook ‘em ‘til their nice and brown.
make a batch of butter milk hoe cakes mama
and you chew them things and you chomp ‘em on down
Singing, any fish bites if you 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 fishing, yes i'm goin fishing
and my baby goin fishing, too
First verse repeat
