Verse 1:
D MajorD                          A augmentedA    D MajorD
I betcha' goin' fishin' all o' the time, Baby goin' fishin' too
D MajorD                E7E7          A augmentedA
Bet your life, your sweet wife, catch more fish than you.

Chorus 1:
D MajorD           D7D7
Many fish bites if you got good bait
G+G
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
D MajorD
Many fish bites if you got good bait ,

I'm a goin' fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin'
         A augmentedA    D MajorD
And my baby goin' fishin' too.

Verse 2:
D MajorD
I went on down to my favorite fishin' hole
        A augmentedA     D MajorD
Baby, grab me a pole an' a line,

Drove my pole on in, caught a nine poun' catfish
E7E7                     A augmentedA
Now you know I brought him home for supper time.

Chorus 1

Verse 3:
D MajorD
Baby brother 'bout to run me outta my mind
         A augmentedA      D MajorD
Sayin', "Can I go fishin' with you?"

I took him on down to the fishin' hole
  E7E7                A augmentedA
Now what do you think now that he did do?

Chorus 2:
D MajorD                     D7D7
Pulled a great big fish out the bottom of the pond
G+G
Now he?s laughing drunk, ?cause he was real gone
D MajorD
Many fish bites if you got good bait ,

I'm a goin' fishin', yes I'm goin' fishin'
         A augmentedA    D MajorD
And my baby goin' fishin' too.

Verse 4:
D MajorD
Put him in the pot, baby put him in the pan
            A augmentedA    D MajorD
Honey cook him till he nice an' brown

Make a batch o' buttermilk, whole cakes mama
  E7E7                A augmentedA
An' chew them things an? chomp em on down.
