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   [ 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 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 repied cause you gotta have a license
