Fishin' - Elvin Bishop

Boy, it sure is a nice day today

I believe I’ll go back out in the garden

And dig me up some worms…

And go fishin'!

Alright, I got me a nice little spot picked out down there on the crick

Boy, them perch is bitin' like crazy.

Yessir.

Powerful

I’m goin' fish-fish, fish-fish, fish-fish, fishin'

I’m goin' fishin', hook, sinker, an' line

I said, fish-fish, fish-fish, fish-fish, fishin'…

Boy, I’m a-goin' fishin' just to ease my mind

Ya know, some folks say that fishin' on a Sunday’s a sin

I don’t believe in that though…

If a fish bite my line on a Sunday, I’m gonna reel 'im on in. (haha)

I Believe I’ll take 'em on home, fry 'em up good an' have a ball…

‘Cause I don’t see nothin wrong with fishin' on Sunday at all.

(haha)

I’m goin' fish-fish, fish-fish, fish-fish, fishin'

Boy, I’m goin' fishin', hook, sinker, an' line

I said, fish-fish, fish-fish, fish-fish, fishin'.

(hahaha)

Yes, I’m a-goin' fishin' just to ease my mind

Alright!

I’ll take my pole and my jug, down to the river

Gonna sit up on the bank

Every time the fish starts to nibble

I’m gonna take me another drink

I’m goin' fish-fish, fish-fish, fish-fish, fishin'

Yes, I’m goin' fishin', hook, sinker, an' line.

Woo!

I said, fish-fish, fish-fish, fish-fish, fishin'.

(hahaha)

Yes Lord, I’m goin' fishin' just to ease my mind

Now see there, look at this big ol' string of fish

Ol' Charlie ‘n them tried to tell me I wouldn’t catch nothin'

Look at the catfish on the end.

Woo!

He’s a big one

I’m gonna get the whole neighborhood over here

And fry these up, sit ‘n have a good ol' fish fry, yessir

Ooh, it’s startin' to smell good already.

Yessir

Hey, bust out a couple bottles a ketchup, salt’n’pepper

A couple a loaves of bread, an'

We’ll just have a time here tonight.

Yessir

Get that old boy next door

To come play his fiddle for us…

Send ol Charlie Daniels out for a

Couple bottles of Corn Liquor, will ya

Aww, here he comes back with it…

Eh, hand me a tall glass, darlin'

And about two more a' those fish sandwiches…

Woo, this sure is good…

I ain’t had this much fun

In about a hundred years…
