The Amazing Adventures of Archibald Esq.
Sound Hound: Louis’ Gone Fishing
This little Louis Armstrong ditty was done as a duet with Bing Crosby.
Two greats of the greats. And wouldn’t you know it…? A hound dog called Cindy features in the song…. Awoooo!
Gone fishin’ (bah-boo-dah-do-dah-do-dah-do)
Got your hound dog by your side (that’s old Cindy-Lou goin’ with me)
Gone fishin’ (mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm)
I’ll tell you why I can’t find you
Every time I go out to your place…
You gone fishin’ (well how you know)
Well there’s a sign upon your door (uh-huh)
Gone fishin’ (I’m real gone man)
You ain’t workin’ anymore (could be)
There’s your hoe out in the sun
Where you left a row half done
You claim that hoein’ ain’t no fun (well I can prove it)
You ain’t got no ambition
Gone fishin’ by a shady wady pool (Shangrila, really la)
I’m wishin’ I could be that kind of fool (should I twist your arm?)
I’d say no more work for mine (welcome to the club)
On my door I’d hang a sign
Gone fishin’ instead of just a-wishin’
