Gone Fishin' Lyrics - Louis Armstrong

I'll tell you why I can't find you 

Every time I go out to your place 

You gone fishin' 

Well how you know 

Well there's a sign upon your door 

Uh-huh 

Gone fishin' 

I'm real gone man 

You ain't workin' anymore 

Could be 

There's your hoe out in the sun 

Where you left a row half done 

You claim that hoein' ain't no fun 

Well I can prove it 

You ain't got no ambition

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Gone fishin' by a shady wady pool 

Shangrila, really la 

I'm wishin' I could be that kind of fool 

Shall I twist your arm? 

I'd say no more work for mine 

Welcome to the club 

On my door I'd hang a sign 

Gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin' 

Papa Bing 

Yeah Louis 

I stopped by your place a time or two lately 

And you aren't home either 

Well, I'm a busy man Louis 

I got a lotta deals cookin' 

I was probably tied up at the studio 

You weren't tied up you dog 

You was just plain old

Gone fishin' 

Bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah 

There's a sign upon your door 

Pops, don't blab it around, will you? 

Gone fishin' 

Keep it shady, I got me a big one staked out 

Mmm, you ain't workin' anymore 

I don't have to work, I got me a piece of Gary 

Cows need milkin' in the barn 

I have the twins on that detail, they each take a side 

But you just don't give a darn 

Give 'em four bits a cow and hand lotion 

You just never seem to learn 

Man, you taught me 

You ain't got no ambition 

You're convincin' me 

Gone fishin' 

Bah-boo-dah-do-dah-do-dah-do 

Got your hound dog by your side 

That's old Cindy-Lou goin' with me 

Gone fishin' 

Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm 

Fleas are bitin' at his hide 

Get away from me boy, you bother me 

Folks won't find us now because 

Mister Satch and Mister Cros 

We gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin' 

Bah-boo-baby-bah-boo-bah-bay-mmm-bo-bay 

Oh yeah
