lyrics

My Bait’s Gone
CHORUS
My bait’s gone but there ain’t no fish
My bait’s gone but there ain’t no fish
My bait’s gone but there ain’t no fish
There ain’t nothing but potatoes on my dish.

I went to the fishing hole with a worm on my line.
Corn bread and catfish was on my mind.
My table was already set, fork knife and dish.
I figure I’d catch me a cute little fish.
CHORUS
Believe me when I tell you that it ain’t no fun.
When you’re still hungry but dinner’s all done.
So eat when you can and don’t come to dinner late.
And do what your mamma told you
And eat everything on you plate
CHORUS
Oh lordy I am so hungry.
I would go down to the meat market but I ain’t got no money.
Guess I’m gonna have to tighten the belt in my pants.
I should’a eaten when I
had the chance

about

Bill Metts Cape Coral, Florida

I have been playing guitar and singing for nearly fifty years now. I Started with American Folk and Blues tunes and finger- style guitar. Had a run in with a Classic Rock band for 6 years or so and I sure was glad when that ended. I spent 15 years playing in nursing homes doing standards from the 30’s and 40’s. Now I mostly write. You will see a bit of all the above in my songs. I hope you like. ... more
