1. Woke up this morning, wanting to cry, then I remember,
yes, I know why, he's a real good one for having his cake I'm gonna go fishin' or jump in the lake. 2. Yes, I'm gonna go fishing, that's what I'll do, think about nothing, not even you, catch a real big one, a big speckled trout Snapping in the water, I'll pull him on out. 3. Sweet talking liar, spin me a yarn, tell me a story, big as a barn, don't stop listening, I won't hear you out I'm gonna go fishin' and catch me a trout. |
4. If a man is a liar, a man is a fool, playing for keepers
and breaking the rule, he'll be the loser, yet she'll find out I'm gonna go fishin' and catch me a trout. 5. Here in the water, look at him shine, there goes a big one, that one is mine, catch up the reel now, I've got the feel now Snapped onto my fly rod, I've got me a trout. 6. Sweet talking liar, you're in for a fall, you tell me a story, you talk to the wall, don't go my way, I'm down the highway I'm gonna go fishin' and catch me a trout. |
Yes, I'm gonna go fishin' . . . I'm gonna go fishin'. . . I'm gonna go fishing' . . .
And get me some trout !
