I'm Going Fishing Lyrics - Doc Watson

I walked down the hill about twelve a clock 

I sat right down on a great big rock 

I looked down the water en blessed my soul 

I seen a great big catfish jumpin' that hole 

(chorus) 

I'm a gonna fishin 'cause everybody's fishing 

And I'm a gonna fishing too 

You bet your life That your lovin' wife 

Might catch more fish than you 

Any fish will bite if you got good bate 

And here's a little something That I'd like to relate 

And when it's time to bite, Lord, the fish won't wait 

I'm a gonna fishin 'cause everybody's fishing 

And I'm a gonna fishing too

I went to the store and I took a look 

Got a pole and some line and a triple hook 

Then an old man smiled as he said to me 

Son, catch a big catfish for me 

(chorus)

I lean right back against on old big tree 

Then a big old bass took a look at me 

He took my bate when I throwed my line 

When I got him to the bank, Lord, he sure looked fine 

(chorus)
