"Fishing song (I'm Gonna Miss Her)"
Brad Paisley/Frank Rogers

-Well I love her
But I love to fish
I spend all day out on this lake
And hell is all I catch
Today she met me at the door
Said I would have to choose
If I hit that fishin' hole today
She'd be packin' all her things
And she'd be gone by noon

Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lakeshore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
That I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

Now there's a chance that if I hurry
I could beg her to stay
But that water's right
And the weather's perfect
No tellin' what I might catch today

Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lakeshore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
That I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

Lobster But Never Flounder

Verse 1

I was a cook and she was a waitress, Down at Salty Sam's Seafood Café. And somewhere 'tween the clam juice or the seaweed salad some little shrimp just lured her away.
Chorus
Oh I lobster but never flounder. He wrapped his line around her and they drove off in his Carp!. Oh I lobster, but never flounder. I octopus his face in, Eel only break her heart.

Verse 2

I said just squid and leave me for that piana tuna if you want to trout somethin' new She was the bass I ever had. Now my life has no porpoise. Oh, my cod I love her yes I do.

Boy, I sword fish she'd come back to me I'd show her a whale of a time. You know, I've kelped her picture in my walleye just for the halibut. I wonder if she kelpt mine in her perch? Yes I said perch. Some of you are looking at me like you are losing your herring. I think I'm getting a haddock!. Well, I bass quit sea horsing around or you folks will go into a state of shark! If I get out of here alive — it'll be a mackerel. "Frankly scallop, I don't give a clam"

Now, it's time to go fishin' !

Catcha' Later! Till next time........I'm gone fishin'

What if the noise of the music frightens the fish away? ;)

Actually, too loud of music can push them away & slow melody songs at a low to moderate level can create a vibration which is tolerable for fish & your still catching like their going out of style! Thanks for bringing up the point! Good point! ACDC wide open & no fish, brad Paisley & a moderate level & you can still reel em' in....

Great information and highly entertaining - love lobster and never flounder....I'm not a fisherwoman (I should do a hub on my fishing experiences) but I would love the music. I just hate to watch something die is the problem. I love the 'idea' of fishing but I think in order to fish you actually have to kill them....

Michael Shane profile image

Michael Shane Hub Author 2 years ago

Nope, I never kill em' unless I am going to eat them. I typically fish for Big Bass & in this sport you usually catch & release....Thanks for commenting akirchner!

I've never listened to music while fishing, but this is a great list of songs, thanks! Maybe my luck will improve listening to fishing songs.

Michael Shane Hub Author 2 years ago

Thanks for visiting Jeffrey! I will listen to music sometimes while fishing but typically if fishing in a tournament the radio is off!

Great idea for a hub! When I first saw the title, I immediately started singing "Sitting on the dock of the bay.." then I clicked on it and saw the title "Fishing on the dock of the bay" and had to laugh. Nice work!

Michael Shane Hub Author 2 years ago

That was the same thing that came to my mind when I got ready to start the hub & chhanged it up a little...Glad I was able to get a chuckle out of you! Thanks for stopping by.......

Guess I better add an I-POD to my fishing box the next time I'm out casting for some cod, or catfish or whatever....maybe the worm will hear it and dance a little harder on the hook and get me a rock and rolling or a country fried catch...Loved this~~~MFB III

Michael Shane Hub Author 2 years ago

LOL! Your worm will dance a little harder on the hook & possibly attract a monster size fish...Thanks for commenting on this hub MFB....
