Gone Fishin

Louis Armstrong

Gone fishin' -- there's a sign upon your door,
A7/#5    D6    B7            Em7         A7
?Gone fishin'? -- you ain't workin' anymore.
There's your hoe out in the sun, where you left a row half done;
You claim that hoein' ain't no fun -- you ain't got no am - bi - tion.

Gone fishin' by a shady, wady pool;
I'm wishin' I could be that kind of fool.
I'd say no more work for mine, on my door I'd hang a sign
?Gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin'.?

Gone fishin' -- there's a sign upon your door,
?Gone fishin'? --you ain't workin' anymore.
You just never seem to learn -- you ain't got no am - bi - tion.

Gone fishin', got your hound dog by your side
Got my hat and got my pole, headed for the fishin' hole,
Gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin'.
