[Verse 1]
Well, I went down the hill about twelve o'clock
I ran right back, and I got me a pole
I'm a-going down to the fishin' hole
And you can come fishin' all the time
Have you been fishin' all the time?
I'm a-goin' fishin', too

[Chorus]
Well, you bet your life, your lovin' wife
Catch more fish than you
Any fish bite if you've got good bait
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate
So come on, baby, come on, gal
I'm a-goin' fishin', yes, I'm goin' fishin'
And you can come fishin', too

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Well, I went down the hill about one o'clock
Spied them catfish swimmin' around
I'm a-going down to the fishin' hole
And live in the country instead of the town
Have you been fishin' all the time?
I'm a-goin' fishin', too
[Chorus]
Well, you bet your life, your lovin' wife
Catch more fish than you
Any fish bite if you got good bait
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate
So come on, baby, come on, gal
You can come fishin' instead of just wishin'
That you would come fishin', too
