I'm A Fishin Man by Johnny Horton
I'm A Fishin Man
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:C
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
With the flash of a spoon and a river runt wiggle
G7 C
A South Bend dart and a jigger pole jiggle
F
He lost his head when he grabbed that dinger
G7 C
Now he’s sittin’ in the middle of a stringer
[Chorus]
F C
I’m a fishing man out on the lake
F G7 C
All you need is a line and pole that’ll never break
[Verse 2]
C
Over on the lake in a tiny little boat
G7 C
Stood a tall slim gal who said her boat wouldn’t float
F
She called on me for a helping hand
G7 C
I said I didn’t have time, I’m a fishing man
[Chorus]
F C
I’m a fishing man out on the lake
F G7 C
Got a stringer full of fish and pole that’ll never break
[Verse 3]
C
As the boat sank she went outta sight
G7 C
A big bass hit just a little to the right
F
She swam to shore just to get some air
G7 C
With a scared crawdaddy sittin’ in her hair
[Chorus]
F C
I’m a fishing man out on the lake
F G7 C
All you need is a line and a pole that’ll never break
[Verse 4]
C
She swam to the boat like a jitterbug frog
G7 C
A big bass took her behind the log
F
The line was good and the pole never bent
G7 C
Mr. Bass he came when he shoulda went
[Chorus]
F C
I’m a fishing man out on the lake
F G7 C
Got a stringer full of fish and a pole that’ll never break
[Verse 5]
C
With a spinner in front and a skirt behind
G7 C
The big bass said I’m gonna make her mine
F
Now she shimmies like a snake and she wiggles like a worm
G7 C
For that ole skirt is a desire to burn
[Chorus]
F C
I’m a fishing man out on the lake
F G7 C
I got a boat full of tackle and a pole that’ll never break
[Verse 6]
C
Well, over on the lake in a shady little nook
G7 C
Set a sweet little thing trying to bait her hook
F
The way she looked in her bathing tan
G7 C
I almost forgot I was a fishing man
[Outro]
F C
But I’m a fishing man out on the lake
F G7 C
All you need is a line and a pole that’ll never break
