Talking Fish Blues - Woody Guthrie
I went down to the fishing hole
And I set down with my fishing 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 credit

Fishing down on the muddy bank
Felt a pull and give a big yank
I hauled out three old rubber boots
And a Ford radiator and a Chevrolet coupe

Handed it in for National Defence

Setting in a boat with a bucket of beer
And I hadn't caught nothing but I didn't much care
I guess I was pretty well satisfied
I had my little lady right by my side

Taking it easy just a-waiting

Worm been gone off that hook for couple hours

You go fishing I'll tell you what to do
You go set down by the grassy slough

Take a piece of string and tie it on your pole
And throw it way out in the middle of the hole

Find you a good shade tree and then just set down

Go to sleep forget all about it

Jumped in the river and went down deep
There was a hundred pound catfish lying there asleep

Jumped on his back and rode him into town

Saddled him up and I come to town

People came running looking

Dogs a-barking kids a-squalling

Stagnate water's a stinking thing
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 old rubber boots you gots

Few little suckers

I waded out to a sandy bar
And I caught myself a big alligator gar
Brung him home across my back

Tail was dragging a mile and a half

Flipping and flopping

Sold him for a quarter

Shot craps got in jail

Early one morning I took me a notion
To go out a-fishing in the middle of the ocean

Throwed out my line I caught me a shark
I didn't get him home til way past dark

He a man-eater tough customer

Just wasn't quite tough enough

Late last night I had me a dream
I was out fishing in a whiskey stream

Baited my hook with apple-jack

Threw out a drink and bring a gallon back

Done pretty good til the creek run dry

So I gave my fish back to the finance company
