TD - Have you ever heard of Elvin Bishop ? If catfish did like music - it wouldn't be this one - It's my favorite fishing song - I listen to it(and sing along) all the time before, during and after fishing.
ELVIN BISHOP - 1974 Capricorn records - Sorry, Elvin for ruining your song with my voice and the accompanyment of my hound chorus.
[Intro - a little bluegrass/jugband fiddle - a washtub, guitar and a soon to be empty enough jug to be in tune.
(with a gravely bass/baritone voice, and an Ozark mountain drawl) it goes something like this ... ]
Boy, it sure is a nice day t'day.
I b'lieve I'll go back to the garden
dig me up some worms
n' go fishin.
Got this nice spot picked out
down there on the creek
Boy them perch r biting like crazy - Yes sir !
[Now sing it boys - in three part harmony and slightly off key - bass,bass,bass/baritone - a one and a two and a ...]
I'm goin fish fish - fish fish - fish fish, a-fish'n
I'm goin fishing - hook sinker n' line.
I say - fish fish - fish fish - fish fish, a-fish'n
Boy I'm goin fish'n
Jest to ease my mind.
You know, A lot folks say fish'n on sunday's a sin,
If a fish bites my line on a sunday,
I'm gonna reel'em on in !
I believe I'll take'em on home
Fry'em up good and have a ball
Cause I don't see nuthin wrong with a-fish'n on sunday at all.
I take my pole and JUG - down to the river,
I'm gonna set up on the bank.
every time the fish start to nibble -
I'M GONNA TAKE ME ANOTHER DRANK !
Yea ! Im goinin fish fish, fish fish, fish fish - a fish'n
I'm goin fish'n jest to ease my mind ............ repeat - ad infinitum.
P.S. Hey Frank - Who knows, if it works out ... I might just make it down there for a little O-DARK-30 fishing. I haven't done that for a spell - sounds like it could be fun. Remember bug juice is your friend.
