Lyrics

Chorus
I'm going to the bait shop to buy me a new fishing pole
I'm going to the bait shop to buy me a new fishing pole
I hope the fish are bitin, fishing good for the soul

Daddy taught me fishing and Mama taught me to sing
Daddy taught me fishing and Mama taught me to sing
If you don't like my singing, ain't but a thing

Chorus

I could make a lot of money but you know it just don't seem right
I could make a lot of money but you know it just don't seem right
To work all day then turn around and work all night

Chorus

I might catch a catfish, a fat bluegill or a trout
I might catch a catfish, a fat bluegill or a trout
Gonna take that baby home it gonna melt in my mouth

Chorus

If ya need a fishing pole you can come along too
If ya need a fishing pole you can come along too
We'll head right past the minnow tanks, we'll pick us out two

Chorus
