Fishin' Blues Lyrics

I have been fishing all the time
Won't you come fishing too?
You can bet your life
Your sweet loving wife
Gonna catch more fish than you
If the fish b***, you got a good bait
Here's a little something I would like to relate
If the fish b***, you got a good bait
I'm a going fishing
Yes I'm going fishing
I'm a going fishing too.

I went up the river by one o'clock
I spied that catfish, so many around
And I got so hungry, didn't know what to do
Reckoned I might catch catfish, too.

And I have been fishing all the time
Won't you come fishing too?
You can bet your life
Your sweet loving wife
Gonna catch more fish than you
If the fish b***, you got a good bait
Here's a little something I would like to relate
If the fish b***, you got a good bait
I'm a going fishing
Yes I'm going fishing
I'm a going fishing too.
And I went down the river by two o'clock
I spied that ale, just so many around
I got so hungry, didn't know what to do
Ain't gonna catch that ale, not you.
And I have been fishing all the time
Won't you come fishing too?
You can bet your life
Your sweet loving wife
Gonna catch more fish than you
If the fish b***, you got a good bait
Here's a little something I would like to relate
If the fish b***, you got a good bait
I'm a going fishing
Yes I'm going fishing
I'm a going fishing too.
