Woke up this morning
Wanted to die
Then I remember
Yes I know why
She was a good one for having her cake
I’m gonna go fishing or jump in the lake
I’m gonna go fishing
That’s what I’ll do
Think about nothing
Not even you
Catch me a big one, a big speckled trout
Snapping in the water I’ll pull her right out
Sweet talking liar
Spinnin‘ a yarn
Told me a big one
Big as a barn
Don’t stop listening, ain’t no doubt about
I’m gonna go fishing and land me a trout
She was some kind of liar
A gal is a fool
Got a PhD
In breaking the rules
She’ll gonna lose now, yes you find out
When I go fishing and catch me a trout
Deep in the water
I dangle the line
Catch me a good one
That one is mine
Catch up the reel now, I’ve got the feel now
Hooked onto my fly rod I’ve got me a trout
Sweet talking liar
You’re in for a fall
You told me some story
Right off the wall
Don’t go my way, I’m down the highway
I’m gonna go fishing
Yes I’m gonna go fishing
Yes I’m gonna go fishing and get me some trout
(korrekte Version der Lyrics gefunden … Peggy Lee, vermutlich von Dr. John adaptiert)
