Well, I might have gone fishin', I got to thinkin' it over
The road to the river is a mighty long way
Well, it must be the season, no rhyme or no reason
I'm takin' it easy, it's my lazy day.

I never mind callin' 'cause I ain't comin'
Just get you on by me and stay out of my way, stay out of my way
A little bit thinkin' drives me to drinkin'
Hey, I'm a takin' it easy, it's my lazy day.

Well. I might have gone fishin', I got to thinkin' it over
The road to the river is a mighty long way
Well, it must be the season, no rhyme or no reason
I'm takin' it easy, it's my lazy day...
