Bet your life, your sweet wife, catch more fish than you.

Chorus 1:
D                      D7
Many fish bites if you got good bait
G
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
D
Many fish bites if you got good bait ,

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

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

Drove my pole on in, caught a nine poun' catfish
E7                                         A
Now you know I brought him home for supper time.

Chorus 1

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

I took him on down to the fishin' hole
    E7                                A
Now what do you think now that he did do?

Chorus 2:
D                                         D7
Pulled a great big fish out the bottom of the pond
G
Now he?s laughing drunk, ?cause he was real gone
D
Many fish bites if you got good bait ,

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

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

Make a batch o' buttermilk, whole cakes mama
    E7                               A
An' chew them things an? chomp em on down.
