Slim Dusty A Bad Day's Fishing song lyrics

Well the fish ain't bitin' but the 'skeeters are,

Little buggers gone hidin', they don't wanna get caught,

Too nice a day to be dangle on the end of a line,

But a bad days fishin' beats a good days work everytime.

Little ole worm around a big ole hook,

He don't mind the water in this babbling brook,

Just swimmin' around an' havin' a flammin' good time,

He knows a bad days fishin' beats a good days work everytime.

Well a bad days fishin' ain't a bad day at all,

Just as long as you're a-wettin' the line,

When the man in the boat is a tallying up,

He gonna look down at you and youll smile

Hell say (A bad days fishing is good for your soul,

so I decided to the end of your life.)

And a bad days fishin' beats a good days work everytime.

Well the fish swim by and say to the worm,

Tell the fool up there, he's a-gonna get burned.

Sleeping in the sun like that mate, he's gonna fry,

He knows a bad days fishin' beats a good day's work everytime."

Well a bad days fishin' ain't a bad day at all,

Just as long as you're a-wettin' the line,

When the man in the boat is a tallying up,

He gonna look down at you and youll smile

Hell say (A bad days fishing is good for your soul,

so I decided to the end of your life.)

Hey! a bad day's fishin' beats a good days work everytime.

Well a bad days fishin' ain't a bad day at all,

Just as long as you're a-wettin' the line,

When the man in the boat is a tallying up,

He gonna look down at you and youll smile

Hell say (A bad days fishing is good for your soul,

so I decided to the end of your life.)

And a bad days fishin' beats a good days work,

And a bad days fishin' beats a good days work,

And a bad days fishin' beats a good days work everytime.
