Well now, take down your fishin'  pole and  meet me at The Fishin' Hole,
 4  -4  -5  7  -7 -6b  -5  7    -7  -6b    -5   -7  6 7
We may not get a bite all day, but don't  you  rush away.
  4  -4  -5    7   -7  -6b  -5    7    -7 -6b -5   4   -5  -6b -5      6
What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skippin'  stones,
  4     -4    -5   7 -7 -6b-57  -7 -6b -5   6  5    -5
You'll feel fresh as a lemonade, a-settin' in the shade.

  -8 7   -8   7    -8  7   -8    7   -8   7  -8  7   7    7   6    -6  -7  7
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.
  

4  -4   -5    7  -7 -6b  -5   7     -7  -6b   -5  -4  -5 -6b -5   6
If we don't hook a perch or bass, we'll cool our toes in dew y grass,
 4  -4   -5   7 -7 -6b -5   7    -7 -6b-5  6   5   -5
Or else pull up a weed to chaw, and maybe set and jaw.

 -8 7   -8  7   -8  7   -8   7    -8  7    -8    7   7   7    6   -6  -7   7
Hangin' around, takin' our ease, watchin' that hound a-scratchin' at his fleas.

  4  -4   -5    7   -7  -6b -5    7   -7 -6b  -5 -4  -5 -6b –5    6
Come on, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at The Fishin' Hole,
4  -4     -5   7 -7 -6b -5  7  -7  -6b  -5   6  5  -5
I can't think of a  better way to pass the time o'day.
