Lyrics

and i set down with my fishing pole
Early one mornin i took me a notion, settin in a boat with a bucket of beer Woody, so i handed it in
Hadn t caught nuthin but didn t much care, so i handed it in
worm been gone off-a that hook for a couple of hours
baited my hook with apple-jack
Tough customer, but he wasn t quite tough enough.

And i set down with my fishing pole, to go out fishin in the middle of the ocean, forget all about it
Tail was dragging a mile and a half, done pretty good till the creek run dry, i give the fish back to the finance company.
Saddled him up and i came into town, when you go fishin Blues, early one mornin i took me a notion
had my little woman right by my side
and i set down with my fishing pole
Somethin grabb d my hook and it got my bait, well i walked out to a sandy bar, there was a hundred pound cat-fish lying there asleep

And i set down with my fishing pole, settin in a boat with a bucket of beer Guthrie, and jerked me out in the middle of the lake
Kids a-squallin, i drug out three old rubber boots
kinda baptized on credit
But he wasn t quite tough enough., drug a gallon back Guthrie, i sold him for a quarter
Jumped in the river and went down deep, to go out fishin in the middle of the ocean Woody, early one mornin i took me a notion
Flippin an floppin, flippin an floppin, takin it easy

Kids a-squallin, but he wasn t quite tough enough.
Can t catch nuthin here anyways., find you a good shady tree and then just set down
tail was dragging a mile and a half
throwed me a line
Go set down by the grassy dew, huh it was some jump boy
Huh it was some jump boy, got in jall. Talking, to go out fishin in the middle of the ocean

I sold him for a quarter, throw it way out in th middle of th hole, worm been gone off-a that hook for a couple of hours
people came runnin
Huh it was some jump boy, tie it on yo pole
Tail was dragging a mile and a half, dogs a-barkin
Baited my hook with apple-jack, i got me a shark Guthrie, i give the fish back to the finance company.
Was he a man-eater, so i handed it in

drug him home across my back
Somethin grabb d my hook and it got my bait, when you go fishin
