Porter Wagoner You Gotta Have A License lyrics

Me and brother Bill was goin'
A fishin' down to the river one day
Had a can of worms and a willer pole
A big can of minners and a lot of sourdough
The fish were a bitin', we're 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 did say

Well, you gotta have a license
Gotta have a license
We asked him, ‽Why?”
He replied, ‽'Cause you gotta have a license”

Well, I'm drivin' down the open highway
Passin' up highway patrolman
Let me go right along and I'd-a
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
Gotta have a license
I asked him, ‽Why?”
He replied
€'Cause you gotta have a license”

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 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
Gotta have a license
I asked her, ”Why?”
She replied, ‽'Cause you gotta have a license”
