I went down to the fishing hole And I set down with my fishing pole Something grabbed my hook and it got my bait And it jerked me out in the middle of the lake Some jump I got sunk Baptized on credit Fishing down on the muddy bank Felt a pull and give a big yank I hauled out three old rubber boots And a Ford radiator and a Chevrolet coupe Handed it in for National Defence Setting in a boat with a bucket of beer And I hadn't caught nothing but I didn't much care I guess I was pretty well satisfied I had my little lady right by my side Taking it easy just a-waiting Worm been gone off that hook for couple hours You go fishing I'll tell you what to do You go set down by the grassy slough Take a piece of string and tie it on your pole And throw it way out in the middle of the hole Find you a good shade tree and then just set down Go to sleep forget all about it Jumped in the river and went down deep There was a hundred pound catfish lying there asleep Jumped on his back and rode him into town Saddled him up and I come to town People came running looking Dogs a-barking kids a-squalling Stagnate water's a stinking thing Slick on top and all turned green When the water goes bad the fish all run Sit all day and not catch a-one Cept old rubber boots you gots few little suckers I waded out to a sandy bar And I caught myself a big alligator gar Brung him home across my back Tail was dragging a mile and a half Flipping and flopping Sold him for a quarter Shot craps got in jail Early one morning I took me a notion To go out a-fishing in the middle of the ocean Throwed out my line I caught me a shark I didn't get him home til way past dark He a man-eater tough customer Just wasn't quite tough enough Late last night I had me a dream I was out fishing in a whiskey stream Baited my hook with apple-jack Threw out a drink and bring a gallon back Done pretty good til the creek run dry So I gave my fish back to the finance company
