I Went Fishing With My Dad William Finn (Ft. D.B. Bonds)

[DB]
I went fishing with my dad
He showed me how to hook the bait
He showed me how to cast the rod
He never ever mentioned God
We were in a different state

We stood there fishing side by side
I made up stories; he just smiled and smiled
We didn't catch a single fish
Which was, I think, my father's wish
I went fishing with my dad
I went fishing with my dad
The sun grew shorter; shorter still
The few words we had spoken ceased
As time kept on I lost my will
To live
Fatigue increased

Hey, Dad, too bad we caught no trout
He said, "I hadn't noticed, son"
You hadn't noticed, Dad, how come?
He said, "Because I was having too much fun"

[ALL]
Really, really, really, Dad?
