Betcha goin' fishin' all o' the time
Baby goin' fishin' too
Bet your life, your sweet wife
Will catch more fish than you

Many fish bites if ya got good bait
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
Many fish bites if ya' got good bait
I'm a goin fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin'
And my baby goin' fishin' too

I went on down to my favorite fishin' hole
Baby grab me a pole an' line
Throw my pole on in, caught a nine pound catfish
Now ya know I brought him home for supper time

Provin' any fish bites if ya got good bait
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
Many fish bites if ya got good bait
I'm a goin fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin'
And my baby goin' fishin' too

Baby brother 'bout to run me outta my mind
Say, can I go fishin' with you?
I took him on down to the fishin' hole
Now what do you think that he did do?
Pulled a great big fish out the bottom o' the pond

Now he laughed and jumped 'cause he was real gone
Many fish bites if ya got good bait
I'm a goin fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin'
And my baby goin' fishin' too

Put him in the pot, baby put him in the pan
Honey cook him till he nice an' brown
Make a batch o' buttermilk, Hoecakes mama
An' ya chew them things an' ya chomp 'em on down

Singin' any fish bites if ya got good bait
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
Many fish bites if ya got good bait
I'm a goin fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin'
And my baby goin' fishin' too
Play the blues

Betcha goin' fishin' all o' the time
Baby goin' fishin' too
Bet your life, your sweet wife
She gonna catch more fish than you

Many fish bites if ya got good bait
Oh, here's a little tip that I would like to relate
Many fish bites if ya got good bait
I'm a goin fishin', mama's goin' fishin'
And the baby goin' fishin' too
