Fishing

I often went fishing
When I was only five
And my Daddy seemed tall as a tree.
He helped me cast my line,
I always caught a fish.
And I made him put the worm on the hook for me

Once I went fishing
When I was nearly ten
And I sat in the shade with a book.
I was all alone
And I brought some dough for bait
Since I couldn't bear to stick a worm on a hook.

When I went fishing
And I was only five
I had all the luck that anyone could wish.
When I went fishing
And I was nearly ten
I never even caught one single fish.
