I went down to the fishing holeAnd I set down with my fishing poleSomething grabbed my hook and it got my baitAnd jerked me out in the middle of the lakeIt was some jump, boy I got sunkKind of baptized on creditFishing down by the muddy bankAnd I felt a pull and I give a big yankI drug out three old rubber bootsA Ford radiatorAnd a Chevrolet coupeNothing but junkSo I handed it inFor national defenseSitting in the boat with a bucket a beerHadn't caught nothing but I didn't much careGuess I was pretty well satisfiedI had my little woman right by my sideJust taking it easyWorm been gone off the hook for several hoursI was busyWhen you go fishing I'll tell you what to doJust go sit down by the grassy looLetras de cancionesAnd take a piece of stringAnd tie it on your poleAnd throw it way out in the middle of the holeThen find yourself a shade treeJust sit down and go to sleepForget all about itCan't catch nothing here anywayWell I walked out on a sandy barAnd caught myself a big alligator garWell I drug him home across my backHis tail was dragging a mile and a halfJust flipping and floppingI sold him for a quarterShot crapsGot in jailJumped in the river and I went down deepThere was a hundred pound catfishLying there asleepWell I jumped on his backAnd I rode him all aroundSaddled him up and come to townPeople come a-runnin'They was lookin'Dogs a-barking and kids a-squallingWell early one morning I took me a notionTo go out fishin' in the middle of the oceanWell I threw out my lineAnd I got me a sharkAnd I didn't get home till a-way past darkHe was a man-eaterA tough customerBut he wasn't quite tough enoughWell late last night I had me a dreamI went out fishing in a whiskey streamI baited my hook with apple jackI threw out a drinkI drug a gallon backAnd I done pretty good tooTill the stream run dryAnd I give the fish back to the finance company From Letras Mania
