Lyrics and Chords


[Television Theme Song]

[Theme to Mayberry RFD; to the tune of the theme to the Andy Griffith Show, written by Earle Hagen and Herbert Spencer]


Well take down your fishin' pole
And meet me at the fishin' hole
We may not get a bite all day
But don't you rush away

/ C F C F / C F C G / 1st / C G C - /

What a great place to rest your bones
And mighty fine for skippin' stones
You feel fresh as a lemonade
A-settin' in the shade

Whether it's hot, whether it's cool
Oh what a spot for whistlin' like a fool

/ F - C - F - C - / F - C - D - G - /

What a fine day to take a stroll
And wander by the fishin' hole
I can't think of a better way
To pass the time of day

We'll have no need to call the roll
When we get to the fishin' hole
There'll be you, me, an' old dog Trey
To doodle time away

If we don't hook a perch or bass
We'll cool our toes in dewy grass
Or else pull up a weed to chaw
And maybe set and jaw

Hangin' around, takin' our ease
Watchin' that hound a-scratchin' at his fleas

Well take down your fishin' pole
And meet me at the fishin' hole
I can't think of a better way
To pass the time of day
