too drunk to fish

Singer:ray stevens

now me and harold this buddy of mine decided that we'd go fishin'

one time

so we drove to the lake with my brand new bass boat. i

brought the fishin' poles the pork and beans the saltine crackers

and the canned sardines

and harold brought all the booze one man

could tote. while i loaded the boat and filled the tank and tried to

get that motor to crank

harold just sat there sippin' on a longneck

beer. while i was steerin' the boat and tyin' the plugs he was

drinkin' moonshine straight from the jug and he was

singing melancholy baby" when we left the pier
