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

Perfect Saturday
Saturday
Ooh woah woah woah
Ooh Ooh

I taught him how to cut the slack
He caught a trout, but threw it back
[OTHERS]
Hmm
[DB]
And
It
Was
Great

I Went Fishing With My Dad was written by William Finn.
“I never went fishing with my Dad (for which I’m grateful), but while I was trying to finish Songs of Innocence and Experience at U Cross, an artist colony in Wyoming, there was a sweet little river outside my studio and every afternoon I’d have drinks there with two other Fellows. We’d bring our ch...
