Lyrics Gone Fishing - Bing Crosby , Louis Armstrong
I'll
tell
you
why
I
can't
find
you
Every
time
I
go
out
to
your
place
You
gone
fishin'
(Well
how
you
know?)
Well
there's
a
sign
upon
your
door
(Uh-huh)
Gone
fishin'
(I'm
real
gone
man)
You
ain't
workin'
anymore?
(Could
be)
There's
your
hoe
out
in
the
sun
Where
you
left
a
row
half
done
You
claim
that
hoein'
that
ain't
no
fun
(Well
I
can
prove
it)
You
ain't
got
no
ambition
Gone
fishin'
by
a
shady
wady
pool
(Shangrila,
really
la)
I'm
wishin'
I
could
be
that
kind
of
fool
(Shall
I
twist
your
arm?)
I'd
say
no
more
work
for
mine
(Welcome
to
the
club)
On
my
door
I'd
hang
a
sign
Gone
fishin'
instead
of
just
a-wishin'
Papa
Bing
I
stopped
by
your
place
a
time
or
two
lately
(Yeah
louis)
And
you
aren't
home
either
Well,
I'm
a
busy
man
Louis,
I
got
a
lotta
big
deals
cookin'
I
was
probably
tied
up
at
the
studio
You
weren't
tied
up
you
dog,
you
was
just
plain
old
Gone
fishin'
(Bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah)
There's
a
sign
upon
your
door
(Pops,
don't
blab
it
around,
will
you?)
Gone
fishin'
(Keep
it
shady,
I
got
me
a
big
one
staked
out)
Mmm,
you
ain't
workin'
anymore
(I
don't
have
to
work,
I
got
me
a
piece
of
Gary)
Cows
need
milkin'
in
the
barn
(I
have
the
twins
on
that
detail,
they
each
take
a
side)
But
you
just
don't
give
a
darn
(Give
'em
four
bits
a
cow
and
hand
lotion)
You
just
never
seem
to
learn
(Man,
you
taught
me)
You
ain't
got
no
ambition
(You're
convincin'
me)
Gone
fishin'
(Bah-boo-dah-do-dah-do-dah-do)
Got
your
hound
dog
by
your
side
(That's
old
Cindy-Lou
goin'
with
me)
Gone
fishin'
(Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm)
Fleas
are
bitin'
at
his
hide
(Get
away
from
me
boy,
you
bother
me)
Mmm,
folks
won't
find
us
now
because
Mister
Satch
and
Mister
Cros
We
gone
fishin'
instead
of
just
a-wishin'
(Bah-boo-baby-bah-boo-bah-bay-mmm-bo-bay)
Oh
yeah!
