ARTIST: Everett Sloane TITLE: The Fishin' Hole 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
