Fishin' For Chickens

Fishin' For Chickens - Hobo Jim cover:




Well [D]grandpa gave me a [D7]fishin pole and
[G]We never had a [E]fishin hole
[D]Down on the farm that really didnt matter to [A]us
[D]Wed sit out on the [D7]old front porch
[G]With a rusty can full of [E]kernel corn
[D]Bait er up and [A]cast er out in the [D]dust

CHORUS
Fishin fer [G]chickens trying to catch a [D]bigun
[A]White ones black ones yellow ones and red ones
[D]Dont matter just long as I get one
Mama finds [G]out gonna catch a [D]lickin [Bm]
[A]Mama dont like nobody fishin for [D]chickens

I re[D]member the time that[D7] I got in
On a [G]feedin frenzy in a [E]school of hens
And I was [D]reelin one in Just when mama came flyin through the [A]door
Said [D]cut that loose kid be[D7]fore you kill it
I said it [G]swallowed the hook mama [E]grease up the skillet
I [D]knew shes gonna [A]ring my neck for [D]sure

CHORUS

BRIDGE
[Bm]Every morning in the misty light
[D]While my mama was sleepin tight
[Bm]Id be sittin by grandpas side
[A]Waitin for the chickens to bite

I was [D]sittin on the front steps [D7]dreamin a bit
When I [G]felt that leghorn [E]rooster hit
And grandpa [D] yelled out boy thats the biggest one I ever [A]saw
You [D]land that one son [D7]sure enough
Well [G]drive him to town and [E]get him stuffed
And when your [D]mama aint lookin
Well [A]hang that rooster on the [D]wall

LAST CHORUS
Fishin fer [G]chickens trying to catch a [D]bigun
[A]White ones black ones yellow ones and red ones
[D]Dont matter just long as I get one
Mama finds [G]out gonna catch another [D]lickin [Bm]
[A]Mama dont like nobody [G]Mama dont allow no[A]body
[G]Mama dont like no[A]body fishin for [D]chickens
