Talking Fishing Blues Lyrics - This Right Here Is - Buck 65

I went down to the fishing hole 

And I set down with my fishing pole 

Somethin' grabb'd my hook and it got my bait 

And Jerked me out in the middle of the lake 

Huh, it was some jump boy 

I got sunk, kinda baptized on credit 

Fishin' down on th' muddy bank 

Felt a pull an' give a big yank 

I drug out three old rubber boots 

A Ford radiator an' a Chevrolet coop 

(Nothin' but Junk so I handed it in for National Defence) 

Settin' in a boat with a bucket of beer 

Hadn't caught nothin' but didn't much care 

I guess I was pretty well satisfied 

Had my little woman right by my side 

(Takin' it easy, just waitin' 

Worm been gone off-a that hook for a couple of hours) 

(I was busy) 

When you go fishin', tell y' what to do 

Go set down by the grassy dew 

Take a piece of string, tie it on yo' pole 

Throw it way out in th' middle of th' hole 

Find you a good shady tree and then just set down 

(Go to sleep, forget all about it, can't catch nothin' here anyways) 

Well, I walked out to a sandy bar 

And I caught myself a big alligator gar 

Drug him home across my back 

Tail was dragging a mile and a half 

Flippin' an' floppin', I sold him for a quarter 

(Shot craps, got in Jall) 

Jumped in the river and went down deep 

There was a hundred pound cat-fish lying there asleep 

Well, I jumped on his back and rode him all aroun' 

Saddled him up and I came into town 

People came runnin', lookin', dogs a-barkin' 

(Kids a-squallin') 

Early one mornin' I took me a notion 

To go out fishin' in the middle of the ocean 

Well, throwed me a line, I got me a shark 

I didn't get him home till way past dark 

(Was he a man-eater, tough customer) 

(But he wasn't quite tough enough) 

Late last night I had me a dream 

I was out fishin' in a whiskey stream 

Baited my hook with apple-jack 

Threw out a drink, drug a gallon back 

(Done pretty good till the creek run dry) 

(I give the fish back to the finance company)
