A fly tied on a graphite rod
Above my head is swishing
A mountain stream
A sportsman's dream
How can I keep from fishing

No job can stop my angling thoughts
For everyday I'm wishing
That life could pay
It's own sweet way
And I could keep on fishing

For when the river
Round me roars
I know the fish they liveth
For when they bit
A well tied fly
I know the joy it giveth

No job can stop my angling thoughts
For everyday I'm wishing
That I could quit
Put up a sign
That simply says
Gone fishin'
