Went fishin' the other day, Sat there from sunup to sundown
"Well, how many did ya catch?" That's what they wanted to know when I got back to town
Now, not one of them fish took a bite. But what could I say? I just told them all about "the one that got away"
I tossed that line into the lake just bidin' my time; There he was....The Granddaddy of them all was gonna be mine
He went swimmin' by and grabbed that hook I had him good. He was a pullin' on that line. Just to hold him back all my strength, it took.
He was splashin' and jumpin' I was holdin' on really tight. But, that ol' Granddaddy was givin' it all his might.
Man.... I was really excited now, What a fight... We had a real tug-a-war goin' on. My brow was pourin' with sweat. Here was the big moment I almost had him in the net...
Now, I'm tellin' you the truth here this is no joke - that dang line of mine just went and broke.
I almost had him... I really did I was gonna get that ol' fish
But, he went to the bottom of the lake and hid
Now I had to go home "She" don't like it when I fish all day
I'll have to tell "Her" 'bout that one that got away
She'll say, "Not a fish on the hook. So-o-o ... not even a fish to cook"
Then I'll just say, "That's OK if he got away... "Cause the best catch of my life..... Well, you just know it's gotta be you, my dear sweet wife
