Fishin' Blues - John Martyn

I have been fishing all the time

Won’t you come fishing too?

You can bet your life

Your sweet loving wife

Gonna catch more fish than you

If the fish bite, you got a good bait

Here’s a little something I would like to relate

If the fish bite, you got a good bait

I’m a going fishing

Yes I’m going fishing

I’m a going fishing too

I went up the river by one o’clock

I spied that catfish, so many around

And I got so hungry, didn’t know what to do

Reckoned I might catch catfish, too

And I have been fishing all the time

Won’t you come fishing too?

You can bet your life

Your sweet loving wife

Gonna catch more fish than you

If the fish bite, you got a good bait

Here’s a little something I would like to relate

If the fish bite, you got a good bait

I’m a going fishing

Yes I’m going fishing

I’m a going fishing too

And I went down the river by two o’clock

I spied that ale, just so many around

I got so hungry, didn’t know what to do

Ain’t gonna catch that ale, not you

And I have been fishing all the time

Won’t you come fishing too?

You can bet your life

Your sweet loving wife

Gonna catch more fish than you

If the fish bite, you got a good bait

Here’s a little something I would like to relate

If the fish bite, you got a good bait

I’m a going fishing

Yes I’m going fishing

I’m a going fishing too
