You Gotta Have A License

Tommy Collins

© Central Songs, BMI

Me and brother Bill was goin' a fishin'
Down to the river one day
We had a can of worms and a willer poles
A big can of minners and a lot of sourdough
The fish was a bitin' we's gonna have fun

Then the big man come said I'm a game warden
Chases me and brother Bill away
We take 'em out of sack and throw them all back
The big man him do say

Well you got to have a license got to have a license
We asked him why he replied cause you got to have a license

Well I drive 'em down the open highway
Passin' up highway patrolman
Let me go right along but I no do wrong
Trees go by me think I'm a flyin'
I sing a little song and I have lotta fun

Then before I know whistle blow
A big man rolled my way
He pullin' down and I'm hit the ground
Shakin' so cause I have to know
The big man him do say

Well you gotta have a license got to have a license
I asked him why he replied cause you got to have a license
[ fiddle ]
Well I got a little gal her name Emilou
She makin' me feel a funny
I love that gal with a big lotta noise
She gave me kiss she given no joy
Me pretty young and I wanna lotta fun

But she tell me no to watch my step
She don't wanna be too gay
She said don't I told you a lot of big times
The little gal she did say

Well we gotta have a license got to have a license
I asked her why she repied cause you got to have a license
