GUITAR INTRO
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
Fetched that line right on that hook
REFRAIN: Says, you been fishin', all the time
I'm a-goin' fishin', too
I'll bet your life, your lovin' wife
Catch more fish than you
Any fish bite if you got good bait
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate
Any fish bite, got good bait
I'm a-goin' fishin', yes, I'm goin' a-fishin', I'm a-goin' fishin', too

Looked down the river, 'bout one o-clock
Spied this catfish swimmin' around
I got so hungry, didn't know what to do
I'm gon' git me a catfish, too
REFRAIN: Says, you been fishin', all the time
I'm a-goin' fishin', too
I'll bet your life, your lovin' wife
Catch more fish than you
Any fish bite if you got good bait
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate
Any fish bite, you got good bait
I'm a-goin' fishin', yes, I'm goin' a-fishin', I'm a-goin' a-fishin', too
QUILLS SOLO
Put on the skillet, lift back the lid
Mama's gonna cook a little short'nin' bread
REFRAIN: Tell you been fishin', all the time
I'm a-goin' fishin', too
I'll bet your life, your lovin' wife
Catch more fish than you
Any fish bite if you got good bait
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate
Any fish bite, you got good bait
I'm a-goin' fishin', yes, I'm goin' a-fishin', I'm a-goin' a-fishin', too
QUILLS SOLO
