Fishin' in the Dark Songtext
von Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Lazy yellow moon comin′ up tonight
Shinin' through the trees
Crickets are singin′ and lightnin' bugs are floatin' on the breeze
Baby get ready

Across the field where the crick turns back by the old stone road
I′m gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
Baby get ready
Oo-oo

You and me goin′ fishin' in the dark
Lyin′ on our backs and countin' the stars where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moonlight
We′ll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin′ slow
Stayin' the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you


Spring is almost over and the summer's comin′
The days are gettin′ long
Waited all winter for the time to be right
Just to take you along
Baby get ready

And it don't matter if we sit forever and the fish don′t bite
Jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night
Baby get ready
Oo-oo

You and me goin' fishin′ in the dark
Lyin' on our backs and countin′ the stars where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moonlight
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin′ slow
Stayin′ the whole night through
It feels so good to be with

You and me goin' fishin′ in the dark (you and me goin' fishin′ in the dark)
Lyin' on our backs and countin′ the stars where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moonlight (down by the river in the full moonlight)
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night (we′ll be fallin′ in love)
Just movin' slow


You and me goin′ fishin' in the dark (you and me goin′ fishin' in the dark)
Lyin′ on our backs and countin' the stars where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moonlight (down by the river in the full moonlight)
We'll be fallin′ in love in the middle of the night (we′ll be fallin' in love)
Just movin′ slow
