"The Fishing Blues" lyrics

Betcha' goin' fishin' all o' da' time
Baby goin' fishin' 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
Many fish bites if ya' 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 grab me a pole an' line
Throw my pole on in, caught a nine poun' catfish
Now ya' know I brought him home for suppertime

Provin' 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'ma 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' wi' chu?
I took 'i'm on down to the fishin' 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 a goin fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin'
And my baby goin' fishin' too

Put him in da' pot baby put him in da' pan
Honey cook him 'til he nice an' brown
Make a batch o' buttermilk, hoe cakes mama
An' ya' chew them thangs an' 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 ya' got good bait
I'm a goin fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin'
And my baby goin' fishin' too

Play da' blues...
Betcha' goin' fishin' all o' da' time
Baby goin' fishin' too
Bet yo' life, yo' sweet wife
She gonna catch mo' 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 ya' got good bait
I'ma goin fishin', mama's goin' fishin'
And the baby goin' fishin' too
