lyrics

11) Fishin’ In The Wrong Hole
m.litton

Fishin’ in the wrong hole, come up empty every night
Fishin’ in the wrong hole, git a snag on every bite
Bait my hook ‘n cast my line
Ain’t caught a keeper in a long ol’ time
Hey buddy, doncha know, been fishin’ in the wrong hole

Headed down the wrong track, trouble nippin’ at my heels
Headed down the wrong track, chasin’ thru the woods ‘n fields
Run me outa town just the other night
Caught me anlin’ for the sheriff’s wife
Oh buddy, that’s a fact, been headed down the wrong track

Chorus: Fishin’ in the wrong hole, headed down the wrong track
Fishin’ in the wrong hole, what I catch I gotta throw back
Maybe it’s time I mend my way
Read the good book, learn to pray
Oh buddy, doncha know, been fishin’ in the wrong hole
A quiet little water hole, she had a fetchin’ smile
Quiet little water hole, she said, “Sit ‘n chat awhile”
By ‘n by her knee nudged mine
Felt her tuggin’ on my line, then her man come ‘n said
“Whoa, boy, you’re fishin’ in the wrong hole!”
(chorus)

My influences are Leadbelly, Jimmie Rodgers, CCR and The Band, while the juices of a hundred others flavor my music, not to mention the devil himself if that's what it takes to make a song... ... more
