Fishing Blues Lyrics by Henry Thomas

Ragtime Texas

0

[Verse 1]
Went up on the hill about twelve o'clock
Reached right back and got me a pole
Went to the hardware and got me a hook
Attached that line right on that hook
[Chorus]
Says you've been a-fishin' all the time, I'm a-goin' fishin' too
I bet your life, your lovin' wife, I catch more fish than you
Any fish bite if you've got good bait
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate
Any fish bite, you've got good bait
I'm a-goin' a-fishin', yes, I'm a-goin' a-fishin'
I'm a-goin' a-fishin' too
[Verse 2]
Looked down the river about one o'clock
Spied this catfish swimmin' around
I got so hungry, didn't know what to do
I'm gonna get me a catfish too
[Chorus]
Says you've been a-fishin' all the time, I'm a-goin' fishin' too
I bet your life, your lovin' wife, I catch more fish than you
Any fish bite if you've got good bait
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate
Any fish bite, you've got good bait
I'm a-goin' a-fishin', yes, I'm a-goin' a-fishin'
I'm a-goin' a-fishin' too
[Verse 3]
Put on your skillet, don't never mind your lead
Mama gonna cook 'em with the short'nin' bread
[Chorus]
Says you've been a-fishin' all the time, I'm a-goin' fishin' too
I bet your life, your lovin' wife, I catch more fish than you
Any fish bite if you've got good bait
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate
Any fish bite, you've got good bait
I'm a-goin' a-fishin', yes, I'm a-goin' a-fishin'
I'm a-goin' a-fishin' too
