[Verse 1]
D G D Jim and I went a-fishin’ a-fishin’ in a bay (lake) D E7 A7 We brought along some whiskey for it was a chilly day D G D And every time that we’d catch a fish a drink off booze we’d take G D E7 A7 D ’Til Jimmy’s feet got tangled up and he fell into the lake D G D Well I looked around for a plank or board, there was none to be found D E7 A7 I spied an iron crowbar a-lying on the ground D G D Well I picked it up and I threw it in and never will forget G D E7 A7 D Jim glommed both arms around it tight and I guess he’s got it yet
[Verse 2]
D G D I owned a span of horses, the finest I could find D E7 A7 I also owned a carriage with a coachman on behind D G D One horse was stolen from me on a dark and stormy night G D E7 A7 D No trace of the robber could I find though I tried with all my might D G D My wife she was a Christian one night to me did say D E7 A7 “If you want to get that robber back why just get down and pray” D G D So thinking that would be the best got down and prayed of course G D E7 A7 D And sure enough the thief came back, but he stole the other horse
[Verse 3]
D G D Mike Murphy had a toothache, to the dentist he did go D E7 A7 He thought that he would get it pulled because it pained him so D G D But when he sat down in the chair he wasn’t quite so bold G D E7 A7 D He wouldn’t open up his mouth so Doc could get a hold D G D So Doc called to the office boy to get a great big pin D E7 A7 He said “You get down beneath that chair, when I wink you jab it in” D G D So Doc he gave the wink he did the tooth came with a jar (jerk) G D E7 A7 D “Ye gads,” said Mike, “I didn’t know the roots went down so far”
