LET'S GO FISHING When May day conies I have a wish, I want to go somewhere and fish; I'll go with you most anywhere, So long as there are fish in there. I learned to fish when just a lad, My teacher was my dear old Dad, And I caught fish, you bet I did, . When I was just a little kid. My outfit cost me fifteen cents, Quite different from the modern gents, A hook, a line, a hoarse -grown pole, A freckled face, a happy soul. Knee pants, a shirt, an old straw hat, A can of worms and that was that, But things have changed and so have I, Come first of May I'm going to try. If you have got a little lad, Take time, go fishing with him, Dad, You'll never know the pride, the joy, You planted in your little boy. It may be later than you think, Take him to hear the Bobolink That soars and sings to cheer the day, All in the merry month of May. I've fished with men, and women too, Crack fishermen, who said they knew A sparkling lake, a shady pool, Why, we'll bring home a basketful], But they were wrong as wrong could 'be, I know for I was there to see, They blamed the moon, the wind was bad, My hat's atill off to Dear Old Dad! —John Beattie.

LET'S GO FISHING When May day conies I have a wish, I want to go somewhere and fish; I'll go with you most anywhere, So long as there are fish in there. I learned to fish when just a lad, My teacher was my dear old Dad, And I caught fish, you bet I did, . When I was just a little kid. My outfit cost me fifteen cents, Quite different from the modern gents, A hook, a line, a hoarse -grown pole, A freckled face, a happy soul. Knee pants, a shirt, an old straw hat, A can of worms and that was that, But things have changed and so have I, Come first of May I'm going to try. If you have got a little lad, Take time, go fishing with him, Dad, You'll never know the pride, the joy, You planted in your little boy. It may be later than you think, Take him to hear the Bobolink That soars and sings to cheer the day, All in the merry month of May. I've fished with men, and women too, Crack fishermen, who said they knew A sparkling lake, a shady pool, Why, we'll bring home a basketful], But they were wrong as wrong could 'be, I know for I was there to see, They blamed the moon, the wind was bad, My hat's atill off to Dear Old Dad! —John Beattie.
