Lyrics of 'Fishin'' by Elvin Bishop

Boy, it sure is a nice day today
I believe I’ll go back out in the garden
And dig me up some worms
And go fishin’!

Alright, I got me a nice little spot
Picked out down there on the crick
Boy, them perch is bitin' like crazy
Pessir, powerful

I'm goin' fish-fish, fish-fish, fish-fish, fishin'
I'm goin' fishin', hook, sinker, an' line
I said, fish-fish, fish-fish, fish-fish, fishin'
Boy, I’m a-goin’ fishin’ just to ease my mind

Ya know, some folks say that fishin' on a sunday's a sin
I don’t believe in that though
If a fish bite my line on a sunday
I'm gonna reel 'I'm on in
I believe I'll take 'em on home
Fry 'em up good an' have a ball
‘Cause I don't see nothin wrong
With fishin’ on sunday at all

I'm goin' fish-fish, fish-fish, fish-fish, fishin'
Boy, I'm goin' fishin', hook, sinker, an' line
I said, fish-fish, fish-fish, fish-fish, fishin'
Yes, I’m a-goin’ fishin’ just to ease my mind

I’ll take my pole and my jug, down to the river,
Gonna sit up on the bank,
Every time the fish starts to nibble,
I’m gonna take me another drink

I'm goin' fish-fish, fish-fish, fish-fish, fishin'
Yes, I'm goin' fishin', hook, sinker, an' line. Woo!
I said, fish-fish, fish-fish, fish-fish, fishin'
Yes lord, I’m goin’ fishin’ just to ease my mind

Now see there, look at this big ol’ string of fish
Ol’ charlie ‘n them tried to tell me I wouldn’t catch nothin’
Look at the catfish on the end! Hoo! he’s a big one

I’m gonna get the whole neighborhood over here
And fry these up, sit ‘n have a good ol’ fish fry, yessir
Ooh, it’s startin’ to smell good already. Yessir

Hey, bust out a couple bottles a ketchup, salt’n’pepper,
A couple a loaves of bread, an’
We’ll just have a time here tonight. Yessir

Get that old boy next door
To come play his fiddle for us
Send ol charlie daniels out for a
Couple bottles of corn liquor, will ya
Aww, here he comes back with it
Eh, hand me a tall glass, darlin’
And about two more a’ those fish sandwiches
{Fading off} woo, this sure is good
I aint had this much fun
In about a hundred years
