You Gotta Have a License
Me and brother Bill was goin' fishin' down to the river one day
Had a can of worms and a willer pole
A big can of minners and a lot of sourdough
The fish were a-bitin', we're gonna have fun
Then a big man come and say, "I'm a game warden"
And he chases me and brother Bill away
He said take 'em out of sack and throw them all back and the big man him did say
Boys, you gotta have a license, yeah, you gotta have a license
Well, we asked him "Why?" and the man replied, "'Cause you gotta have a license"
Me drivin' down the open highway passin' up a highway patrolman
Let me go right along and I'd a no do wrong, trees go by me think like I'm a-flyin'
I sing a little song and I have lot of fun
Then a whistle blow and 'fore I know the big man he rolled my way
Me pull 'em down and a hit a the ground
Shakin' so 'cause I have a know and the big man him do say
Boys, you gotta have a license, yeah, you gotta have a license
Well, I asked him "Why?" and he replied, "'Cause you gotta have a license"
Well, now I got a little gal and her name Emilou, she makin' me feel a funny
Well, I love that gal with a big lotta noise, she gave me a kiss but she given no joy
Well, me pretty young and I want a lot of fun
Well, she tell me no, said a-watch my step, she know would be today
She said, "Don't I told you a lot of big times" and the little girl her do say
Boy, you gotta have a license, yeah, you gotta have a license
Well, I asked her "Why?" she replied, "'Cause you gotta have a license"
Had a can of worms and a willer pole
A big can of minners and a lot of sourdough
The fish were a-bitin', we're gonna have fun
Then a big man come and say, "I'm a game warden"
And he chases me and brother Bill away
He said take 'em out of sack and throw them all back and the big man him did say
Boys, you gotta have a license, yeah, you gotta have a license
Well, we asked him "Why?" and the man replied, "'Cause you gotta have a license"
Me drivin' down the open highway passin' up a highway patrolman
Let me go right along and I'd a no do wrong, trees go by me think like I'm a-flyin'
