Gone Fishin' Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

You gone fishin' there's a sign upon your door 

Gone fishin' you ain't workin' anymore 

There's a hoe out in the sun 

Where you left the row half done 

You claim that hoe and ain't no fun 

But you ain't got no ambition 

Gone fishin' by a shady wady pool 

I'm wishin' I could be that kind of fool 

I'd say no more work for mine 

On a door I'd hang a sign 

Gone fishin' instead of just a wishin' 

You've gone fishin' there's a sign upon your door 

Gone fishin' you ain't workin' anymore 

Cows need milkin' in the barn but you just don't give a darn 

You just never seem to learn you ain't got no ambition 

Gone fishin' there's your hound dog by your side 

Gone fishin' fleas are bitin' at his side 

Folks just can't find you here 

'Cause old Alan Clinton 

Gone fishin' instead of just a wishin' 

You've gone fishin' 

You don't worry about no waters 

Gone fishin' you don't bother with the chores 

There's your hoe out in the sun 

Where you left a row half done 

You claim that hoein' ain't no fun 

You ain't got no ambition 

Gone fishin' 

I would peace has never died 

All the word was by my side 

Folks just can't find me your in 

'Cause old Alan Clinton 

Gone fishin' instead of just a wishin'
