"Fishin' Blues" lyrics - NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND

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
I said, many fish bites if ya' got good bait
I'm goin fishin', my mama goin' fishin'
And baby goin' fishin' too.

I went on down to my fav'rit fishin' hole, baby grab myself a pole an' line
Throw my pole on in, caught a nine poun' catfish
Now ya' know I brought 'im 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'm goin fishin', my mama goin' fishin'
And baby goin' fishin' too.

Baby brother 'bout to run me outta my mind say, can I go fishin' wi' chu
I took 'im 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 goin fishin', my mama goin' fishin'
And baby goin' fishin' too.

Put 'im in da' pot baby put 'im in da' pan, honey cook 'im '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 goin fishin', my mama goin' fishin'
And baby goin' fishin' too.

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
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
Many fish bites if ya' got good bait
I'm goin fishin', my mama goin' fishin'
And baby goin' fishin' too.

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
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
Many fish bites if ya' got good bait
I'm goin fishin', my mama goin' fishin'
And baby goin' fishin' too.

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
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, oh yeay.

And baby goin' fishin' too.
