Classic Poem

Went up on the hill, 'bout 12 o'clock
Reached right back and got me a pole
Went to the hardware, got me a hook
'Tached that line right on that hook
Tell you been a-fishin', all the time
I'm a-goin' to fishin' too
I bet your life
Your lovin' wife
Catch more fish 'n you
Any fish bite
Got good bait
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate
Any fish bite
Got good bait
I'm a-goin' to fishin'
Yes I'm goin' to fishin'
I'm a-goin' to fishin' too

Looked down the river 'bout 1 o'clock
Spied those catfish swimmin' around
I got so hungry, didn't know what to do
I'm gonna get me a catfish too
Tell you been a-fishin', all the time
I'm a-goin' to fishin' too
I bet your life
Your lovin' wife
Catch more fish 'n you
Any fish bite
Got good bait
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate
Any fish bite
Got good bait
I'm a-goin' to fishin'
Yes I'm goin' to fishin'
I'm a-goin' to fishin' too

Put on the skillet, lay by the lid
Mama's gonna cook a little shortnin' bread
Tell you been a-fishin', all the time
I'm a-goin' to fishin' too
I bet your life
Your lovin' wife
Catch more fish 'n you
Any fish bite
Got good bait
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate
Any fish bite
Got good bait
I'm a-goin' to fishin'
Yes I'm goin' to fishin'
I'm a-goin' to fishin' too
