You Gotta Have A License Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

Me and brother Bill was goin' a fishin' down to the river one day 

Had a can of worms and a willer pole a big can of minners and a lot of sourdough 

The fish were a bitin' we're gonna have fun 

Then the big man come said I'm a game warden chases me and brother Bill away 

We take 'em out of sack and throw them all back the big man him did say 

Well you gotta have a license gotta have a license 

We asked him why he replied cause you gotta have a license 

Well I'm drivin' down the open highway passin' up highway patrolman 

Let me go right along and I'd-a no do wrong trees go by me think I'm a flyin' 

I sing a little song and I have lotta fun 

Then before I know whistle blow a big man rolled my way 

He pullin' down and I'm hit the ground 

Shakin' so cause I have to know the big man him do say 

Well you gotta have a license gotta have a license 

I asked him why he replied cause you gotta have a license 

Well I got a little gal her name Emilou she makin' me feel a funny 

I love that gal with a big lotta noise she gave me kiss she given no joy 

Me pretty young and I want to lotta fun 

But she tell me no watch my step she don't want to be too gay 

She said don't I told you a lot of big times the little gal she did say 

Well we gotta have a license gotta have a license 

I asked her why she repied cause you gotta have a license
