ive been out fishin in the deep blue sea
fished the rivers and the lakes and the clear mountain streams
fished with nets in florida, crank bait in tennesse
caught some lunkers up in canada and walleye out of erie
but if you like catfishin, and ya wanna do it right
we'll fish along mosquito creek around midnight
they built a new bridge and dug a hole in the creek
it was swampy and thick but the fishin was sweet
put some gizzards in a jar and leave em bout a week
ya need some stink bait when you fish down at the creek
(chorus)
swattin mosquitos down at the old fishin hole
got me a catfish dancin on the end of my pole
swattin mosquitos down at the old fishin hole
skeeders are bitin but I cant let go of my pole
ya gotta get there right around dark
and hike thru the brush from where ya gotta park
lug some coolers full of beer, start a fire in the rocks
find a place for your chair, put some skinnard on the box
put the gizzards in a sock and throw em in upstream
let the current take that rotten smell from here to new orleans
this aint now fishin story, I swear on my aunt Maybell
to catfish rotten gizzards smell like dinner on the table
(chorus)
put a crawler on your hook and set a tight line
sit back, crack a beer and have a good time
it starts with a nibble and turns into a bite
ya give a good yank and ya really gotta fight
cause he's twistin and turnin and ya havent got much time
and he's runnin down stream and he's sure to bust your line
so ya keep the pressure on him, reel him in when he slows
put the big ones on the stringer... let the little ones go
swattin mosquitos down at the old fishin hole
got me a catfish dancin on the end of my pole
swattin mosquitos down at the old fishin hole
Mosquito Creek, route 5, Ohio
