The Fishin' Hole

[Anthony Ravella]

Who hasn't whistled this song or wanted the words? It's contagious.... (and maybe I'll tell you about the one that got away....a real one that got away...tomorrow)

The Fishin' Hole

Well, now, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at The Fishin' Hole,
We may not get a bite all day, but don't you rush away.

What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skippin' stones,
You'll feel fresh as a lemonade, a-settin' in the shade.

Whether it's hot, whether it's cool, oh what a spot for whistlin' like a fool.

What a fine day to take a stroll and wander by The Fishin' Hole,
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.

We'll have no need to call the roll when we get to The Fishin' Hole,
There'll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey, to doodle time away.

If we don't hook a perch or bass, we'll cool our toes in dewy grass,
Or else pull up a weed to chaw, and maybe set and jaw.

Hangin' around, takin' our ease, watchin' that hound a-scratchin' at his fleas.

Come on, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at The Fishin' Hole,
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.


As Always, Good Luck...

Click on the video if you want to see it full sized...I miniaturized it....I tried to upload this version from my CD (double set...he does rock) I was so friggin' frustrated I almost pulled a "IKE"...I was ready to toss the set-up right in the lake!! I started this late afternoon and set the hook at 9:41 PM!

Anyway...it's a great tune and anyone that makes the mistake to listen to the song and read the words WILL be hummin' or singin' it all day tomorrow (or the day after ya came across it)

Fuggedabouddit, I'll tell ya my fish story now...it was a striper in the surf, 36+ inches, I gave him slack, he spit the plug and that's that!...so there's my story (you know I could have dragged that out but I'm shot and I want to post a video about slip bobbers...the dude needs a manicure, but it's the "Best Jerry, The BEST!) )
