Fishing Blues

D                                                   A       D
I betcha' goin' fishin' all o' the time, Baby goin' fishin' too
D                               E7                   A
Bet your life, your sweet wife, catch more fish than you.

[Chorus 1]
D                      D7
Many fish bites if you got good bait
G                        D
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
D
Many fish bites if you got good bait ,

I'm a goin' fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin'
                  A       D
And my baby goin' fishin' too.

[Verse 2]
D
I went on down to my favorite fishin' hole
                A          D
Baby, grab me a pole an' a line,

Drove my pole on in, caught a nine poun' catfish
E7                                         A
Now you know I brought him home for supper time.

[Chorus 1]
D                      D7
Many fish bites if you got good bait

Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
D
Many fish bites if you got good bait ,

I'm a goin' fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin'
                  A       D
And my baby goin' fishin' too.

[Verse 3]
D
Baby brother 'bout to run me outta my mind
                  A            D
Sayin', "Can I go fishin' with you?"

I took him on down to the fishin' hole
    E7                                A
Now what do you think now that he did do?

[Chorus 2]
D                                         D7
Pulled a great big fish out the bottom of the pond
G                         D
Now he’s laughing drunk, ‘cause he was real gone
D
Many fish bites if you got good bait ,

I'm a goin' fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin'
                  A       D
And my baby goin' fishin' too.

[Verse 4]
D
Put him in the pot, baby put him in the pan
                       A        D
Honey cook him till he nice an' brown

Make a batch o' buttermilk, whole cakes mama
    E7                               A
An' chew them things an’ chomp em on down.

[Chorus 1]
D                      D7
Many fish bites if you got good bait
G                        D
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate

Many fish bites if you got good bait ,

I'm a goin' fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin'
                  A       D
