Let's see..I don't know how to do the chord thingy, but we can try this. You have the words, right? First verse and chorus. Well, my grandpa (C) gave me his old fishin' (C7) pole, But we (F) didn't have a fishin' hole, But that (C) didn't matter, didn't bother either of us (G/G7). We'd sit (C) out there on the old front(C7) porch With a rusty (F) can full of kernel corn, We'd bait (C) our hooks and cast (G7) out in the dust (C/C7) Fishin' for chickens (F) tryin' to catch a big (C) 'un White (G) ones, black ones, yellow ones, red ones, Don't (C) matter just as long as I get one (C7) If Mama finds out(F) gonna catch another lickin'(C/Am) Mama(D7) don't like nobody(G) fishin' for chickens(C) All credit for this song goes to my buddy Hobo Jim Varsos, the pride of Alaska.

23 Jul 14 - 01:27 AM (#3644416) Subject: Lyr Add: FISHIN' FOR CHICKENS (Hobo Jim Varsos) From: Jim Dixon I noticed some of the lyrics that Seamus Kennedy posted are a bit different from Hobo Jim's: FISHIN' FOR CHICKENS As sung by Hobo Jim [Jim Varsos] on "Woodsmoke" 1. Well, Grandpa gave me a fishin' pole, But we never had a fishin' hole. Down on the farm that really didn't matter to us. We'd sit out on the old front porch With a rusty can full o' kernel corn And bait 'er up and cast 'er out in the dust. CHORUS: Fishin' for chickens, tryin' to catch a big 'un, White ones, black ones, yellow ones, or red ones, Don't matter just as long as I get one. Mama finds out, gonna catch another lickin'. Mama don't like nobody fishin' for chickens. 2. I remember the time that I got in On a feedin' frenzy in a school o' hens, And I was reelin' one in just when Mama came flyin' through the door. Said, "Cut that loose, kid, before you kill it!" I said, "He's swallered the hook, Mama. Grease up the skillet!" I knew she was gonna wring my neck for sure. CHORUS BRIDGE: Ever' mornin' in misty light While my mama was sleepin' tight, I'd be sittin' by Grandpa's side, Wishin' for the chickens to bite. 3. I's sittin' on the front steps dreamin' a bit, When I felt that leghorn rooster hit, And Grandpa yelled out, "Boy, that's the biggest one I ever saw! You land that one, son, sure enough, We'll drive him to town and get him stuffed. And when your mama ain't lookin' we'll hang that rooster on the wall." CHORUS |
