Lawrence Hankins (Hank) Locklin was one of country music’s greatest tenors perhaps best known for “Please Help Me, I’m Falling.” In this awesome fishing tune, it’s obvious that Hank would rather go fishin’ than, well, pretty much anything else.īring along your fishin’ pole and leave your dirty dishes (From his album: “Looking Forward, Looking Back”) He’ll say (A bad day’s fishing is good for your soul,Īnd a bad days fishin’ beats a good day’s work,Īnd a bad days fishin’ beats a good day’s work everytime. He gonna look down at you and you_ll smile Hey! a bad day’s fishin’ beats a good days work everytime. He’ll say (_A bad day’s fishing is good for your soul, He knows a bad days fishin’ beats a good day’s work everytime.” Sleeping in the sun like that mate, he’s gonna fry, Tell the fool up there, he’s a-gonna get burned. Well the fish swim by and say to the worm, He’ll say (_A bad day_s fishing is good for your soul,Īnd a bad days fishin’ beats a good days work everytime. He gonna look down at you and you’ll smile When the man in the boat is a tallying up, Just as long as you’re a-wettin’ the line, Well a bad days fishin’ ain’t a bad day at all, He knows a bad days fishin’ beats a good day’s work everytime. Just swimmin’ around an’ havin’ a flammin’ good time, He don’t mind the water in this babbling brook, Yes, I’m gonna go fishing and get me some trout Hooked onto my fly rod, I’ve got me a trout Playing for keepers and breaking the rulesĬatch up the reel now, I’ve got the feel now I’m gonna go fishing and catch me a trout Snapping in the water, I’ll pull him on outĭon’t stop listening, I won’t hear you out Yeah, I’m gonna go fishing, that’s what I’ll doĬatch a real big one, a big speckled trout She’s a real good one for having her cake Take me in the river, drop me in the water Take me in the river, drop me in the water, water
Take me to the river, drop me in the water

I see what Mac means about fishing there – you never know what you may pull up.Think of all the things that we could have had That fish Dad is holding is called a “pudding wife.” I think it looks radioactive but that’s just its lovely color. Here are a few photos from our trip – that’s Leeann and Mac in the top right and me with Dad at the bottom left. The song was released in 2016 and written by Bobby Bones and possibly Producer Eddie but I’m not sure.

The Tempura and Piccata recipes were oh-so-good!īesides catching some big red snappers, one eel (ick), I got to drive my cousin Mac’s boat, and I drank lots of coffee on their back porch. And when restaurant chefs cook what you catch, that is the coolest thing. I loved the Keys’ laid-back feeling, surrounding gorgeous blue water and excellent fishing. We drove three days to get there but it was well worth it.
Visiting my cousin Mac and his wife, Leeann, at their island home was a treat for my father and me. A recent fishing trip to the Florida Keys with my dad inspires me to think of my five favorite fishing songs – see that list at the bottom of the post.
