Текст песни Talking Fishing Blues (Cisco Houston) с переводом

I went down to the fishing hole

And I set down with my fishing pole

Something grabbed my hook and it got my bait

And jerked me out in the middle of the lake

It was some jump, boy I got sunk

Kind of baptized on credit

Fishing down by the muddy bank

And I felt a pull and I give a big yank

I drug out three old rubber boots

A Ford radiator

And a Chevrolet coupe

Nothing but junk

So I handed it in

For national defense

Sitting in the boat with a bucket a beer

Hadn’t caught nothing but I didn’t much care

Guess I was pretty well satisfied

I had my little woman right by my side

Just taking it easy

Worm been gone off the hook for several hours

I was busy

When you go fishing I’ll tell you what to do

Just go sit down by the grassy loo

And take a piece of string

And tie it on your pole

And throw it way out in the middle of the hole

Then find yourself a shade tree

Just sit down and go to sleep

Forget all about it

Can’t catch nothing here anyway

Well I walked out on a sandy bar

And caught myself a big alligator gar

Well I drug him home across my back

His tail was dragging a mile and a half

Just flipping and flopping

I sold him for a quarter

Shot craps

Got in jail

Jumped in the river and I went down deep

There was a hundred pound catfish

Lying there asleep

Well I jumped on his back

And I rode him all around

Saddled him up and come to town

People come a-runnin'

They was lookin'

Dogs a-barking and kids a-squalling

Well early one morning I took me a notion

To go out fishin' in the middle of the ocean

Well I threw out my line

And I got me a shark

And I didn’t get home till a-way past dark

He was a man-eater

A tough customer

But he wasn’t quite tough enough

Well late last night I had me a dream

I went out fishing in a whiskey stream

I baited my hook with apple jack

I threw out a drink

I drug a gallon back

And I done pretty good too

Till the stream run dry

And I give the fish back to the finance company
