I walked down the hill about twelve a clock I sat right down on a great big rock I looked down the water en blessed my soul I seen a great big catfish jumpin' that hole (chorus) I'm a gonna fishin 'cause everybody's fishing And I'm a gonna fishing too You bet your life That your lovin' wife Might catch more fish than you Any fish will bite if you got good bate And here's a little something That I'd like to relate And when it's time to bite, Lord, the fish won't wait I'm a gonna fishin 'cause everybody's fishing And I'm a gonna fishing too I went to the store and I took a look Got a pole and some line and a triple hook Then an old man smiled as he said to me Son, catch a big catfish for me (chorus) I lean right back against on old big tree Then a big old bass took a look at me He took my bate when I throwed my line When I got him to the bank, Lord, he sure looked fine (chorus)
