Well I love her

And 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.
