Well, I went down the hill about twelve o'clock

I ran right back and I got me a pole

And you can come fishin' all the time

Any fish bite if you've got good bait

I'm a-goin' fishin', yes, I'm goin' fishin'

And you can come fishin', too

Well, I went down the hill about one o'clock

Spied every catfish swimmin' around

And live in the country instead of the town

Any fish bite if you got good bait

You can come fishin' instead of just wishin'

That you would come fishin', too
