Fishing Blues

Fishing Blues (垂钓蓝调) - Henry Thomas

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

Says you've been a fishin' all the time

I'm a goin' fishin' too

I bet your life your lovin'wife

Can 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

Looked down the river about one o'clock

Spied this catfish swimmin' around

I've got so hungry didn't know what to do

I'm gonna get me a catfish too

Yes you've been fishin' all the time

I'm a goin' a fishin' too

I bet your life your lovin' wife

Catch more fish than you

Any fish bite 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 goin' a fishin'

I'm a goin' a fishin' too

Put on your skillet don't never mind your lead

Mama gonna cook 'em with the short'nin' bread

Says you been fishin' all the time

I'm a goin a fishin' too

I bet your life your lovin' wife

Can 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 goin' a fishin'

I'm a goin' a fishin' too
