Verse 1
I Went Down By The Fishin' Hole
And I Sat Down With My Fishin' Pole,
Something Grabbed My Hook And It Got My Bait
And It Jerked Me Out In The Middle Of The Lake.
Some Jump, I Got Sunk,
Baptized On A Credit.
Verse 2
Fishin' Down On The Muddy Bank,
I Felt A Pull And I Give A Big Yank,
I Hauled Out Three Old Rubber Boots,
And A Ford Radiator And A Chevrolet Coupe.
Handed In For National Defense.
Verse 3
Sittin' In A Boat With A Bucket Of Beer
And I Hadn't Caught Nothin' But I Didn't Much Care,
I Guess I Was Pretty Well Satisfied,
I Had My Little Lady Right By My Side,
Takin' It Easy, Just A-Waitin',
Worm Been Gone Off That Hook For A Couple Hours.
Verse 4
You Go A-Fishin', I'll Tell You What To Do,

Take A Piece Of String And Tie It On Your Pole
And Throw It Way Out In The Middle Of The Hole,

Go To Sleep, Forget All About It.
Verse 5
Jumped In The River And I Went Down Deep,

Dogs A-Barkin', Kids A-Squallin'.
Verse 6

Slick On Top And All Turned Green.
When The Water Goes Bad The Fish All Run,
Sit All Day And Not Catch A-One,
'Cept Mud Wallerpers, Jugars, A Few Little Suckers.
Verse 7
I Waded Out To A Sandy Bar
And I Caught Myself A Big Alligator Gar.
Brung Him Home Across My Back,
Tail Was Draggin' A Mile And A Half.
Flippin' And Floppin',
Sold Him For A Quarter.
Shot Craps, Got In Jail.
Verse 8
Early One Morning I Took Me A Notion
To Go Out A-Fishin' In The Middle Of The Ocean.
Throwed Out My Line And Caught Me A Shark,
I Didn't Get Him Home Till Way Past Dark.
He Was A Man-Eater, Tough Customer,
Just Wasn't Quite Tough Enough.
Verse 9
Late Last Night I Had Me A Dream
I Was Out Fishin' In A Whiskey Stream.
Baited My Hook With Applejack,
Throw Out A Drink, Bring A Gallon Back.
Done Pretty Good, Till The Creek Run Dry,
So I Give My Fish Back To The Finance Company.
At the end he does a little picky bit which I think is :
