JANIE'S GONE FISHIN'
(Wayne Kirkpatrick)


Kim Hill - 1994





Billy left Janie in a pool of tears
Cryin' on her pillow ev'ry night 
For what seemed like years
Feelin' lost and so misled

Billy got tired of playin' the field
Now like a guilty dog
He's turnin' on his heels
With his tail between his legs

He's runnin' back to the love he's been missin'
But it's a little too late
Janie's gone fishin', Janie's gone fishin'
Billy's high and dry, Janie's gone fishin'
She refused to be a slave to the misery
When there's plenty o' fish in the sea
Janie's gone fishin' 

Billy knows that his goose is cooked
Still he's hopin' that he'll have the chance
To bite the hook when Janie throws out her line

So he's been lookin' all over town
Ah, but Janie, she's nowhere to be found
She's out havin' a good time

It ain't him she'll be kissin'
An' Billy's goin' berserk
Janie's gone fishin', Janie's gone fishin'
Billy's high and dry, Janie's gone fishin'
She refused to be a slave to the misery
When there's plenty o' fish in the sea
Janie's gone fishin', Yeah!

(Instrumental Break)

Yeah, she refused to be a slave to the misery
When there's plenty o' fish in the sea
Janie's gone fishin'
Go on, Janie!
