Jimmy Reed - Goin' Fishin' Lyrics

(Jimmy Reed)

Ain't no need of sitting down thinking, baby, 'bout some of the things run 'cross my mind
I was sitting down thinking, baby, 'bout some of the things run 'cross my mind
Ain't no need to go fishing, baby, honey when you only take a line

I went fishing one day, baby, take a line and no pole
When I thought about it, baby, it was a very sorry soul
Yeah, then just sitting here thinking, some of the things run 'cross my mind
Ain't no need to go fishing, darling, when you only take a line

Know they say the fish was biting, baby, didn't even need a hook
When I got out there, baby, all I got was a dirty look
Then I'm sitting down thinking, some of the things run 'cross my mind
Ain't no need to go fishing, darling, when you only take a line
