Written by:Guthrie[00:00:02]
I went down to the fishing hole[00:00:04]
And I set down with my fishing pole[00:00:06]
Something grabb'd my hook and it got my bait[00:00:09]
And jerked me out in the middle of the lake[00:00:11]
Some jump[00:00:14]
I got sunk baptized on credit[00:00:16]
Fishing down on th' muddy bank[00:00:22]
Felt a pull an' give a big yank[00:00:24]
I holed out three old rubber boots[00:00:26]
A ford radiator an' a Chevrolet coop[00:00:28]
I handed it in[00:00:31]
For national defence[00:00:32]
Setting in a boat with a bucket of beer[00:00:35]
Hadn't caught nutting but didn't much care[00:00:37]
I guess I was pretty well satisfied[00:00:39]
Had my little lady right by my side[00:00:41]
Taking it easy yeah still waiting[00:00:45]
Worm been gone off a that hook for a couple of hours[00:00:51]
You go Fishing tell y' what to do[00:00:57]
Go set down by the grassy dew[00:00:58]
Take a piece of string tie it on yo' pole[00:01:01]
And throw it way out in th' middle of th' hole[00:01:03]
Find you a good shady tree and then just set down[00:01:07]
Go to sleep forget all about it[00:01:11]
Jumped in the river and went down deep[00:01:17]
There was a hundred pound cat fish lying there asleep[00:01:19]
I jumped on his back and rode him all around[00:01:22]
Saddled him up and I came into town[00:01:25]
People came running looking dogs a barking[00:01:29]
Kids a squalling[00:01:33]
Stagnate water's a stinking thing[00:01:38]
Slick on top and all turned green[00:01:40]
When the water goes bad the fish all run[00:01:44]
Sit all day and not catch a one[00:01:47]
Mud wallopers jewgars[00:01:50]
A few little suckers[00:01:54]
I waded out to a sandy bar[00:01:56]
And I caught myself a big alligator gar[00:01:58]
Brung him home across my back[00:02:00]
Tail was dragging a mile and a half[00:02:03]
Flipping and flopping[00:02:06]
Sold him for a quarter[00:02:08]
Shot craps got in jail[00:02:10]
Early one morning I took me a notion[00:02:19]
To go out a Fishing in the middle of the ocean[00:02:21]
Throwed out my line I caught me a shark[00:02:23]
I didn't get him home 'til way past dark[00:02:25]
He's man eater tough customer[00:02:29]
Just wasn't quite tough enough[00:02:33]
Last last night I had me a dream[00:02:38]
I was out Fishing in a whiskey stream[00:02:40]
Baited my hook with apple jack[00:02:44]
Threw out a drink drug a gallon back[00:02:46]
Done pretty good till the creek run dry[00:02:50]
I give the fish back to the finance company[00:02:55]
