(I'VE GOT) BIGGER FISH TO FRY
Lyrics Tim Woodson, Music Tim Woodson, Rob Compton, Pat Stevenson © 1995

Sittin' on the bank of that muddy Mississippi, watchin' that river roll by.
Got my cane pole up the air, got my bobber throwed way out there.
Gonna catch a big catfish to fry.
Sittin' on my bucket, got my cooler by my side
Got a big ol' can of worms and a bottle of home made wine.
Ain't had a bite in a while, but Lord that's just fine.
Gonna watch that sun go down and drink that home made wine.

Chorus:
Lord it don't get no better than this.
Sittin' on that riverbank, gonna catch me a big old fish.
Lord if you take me, don't take me tonight.
Cause I got a big one on the line.

Cane pole hit the water, and I dropped that bottle of wine.
Fell off my bucket tryin' to reel in that line.
Lord it's a big one, could be the biggest of all time.
Don't you know before I pulled him in, that big fish snapped my line?

Chorus

Recorded by Wildhorse Creek.
