Murphy, David Lee - Fish Ain't Bitin' Lyrics






Sally Cantrell worked behind the bar
Had a wavin' rebel flag tattooed on her arm
She called everybody honey
That came walkin' through her door

She was known for puttin' things just the way they were
She called 'em like she saw 'em without smoothin' fur
When it comes to woman torubles
Nobody said it better than her no sir

If the fish ain't bitin'
If the fish ain't bitin'
Well now don't go gettin' shook
Honey take a look
What kinda bait you got on the hook

With that low smokey voice I can she her Lord
Breakin' up fights over Chevys and Fords
With that motherly broomstick logic
No man can ignore

But on the subject of love she gave good advice
And everybody listened without thinkin' twice
And she swore when she said it
Without blinkin' an eye oh my

If the fish ain't bitin'
If the fish ain't bitin'
Well now don't go gettin' shook
Honey take a look
What kinda bait you got on the hook

So if you're down on your luck and all you can say is
You should've seen the one I let get away
Well maybe all you need is a change in your strategy yes indeed

If the fish ain't bitin'
If the fish ain't bitin'
Well now don't go gettin' shook
Honey take a look
What kinda bait you got on the hook

  24. E.... ....

    For all you so-called "country fans", this ain't country. At best it could be called country rock, or pop country.

    E.... ....

  30. D.... K....

    That fish was Bitin' 2:15

  31. J.... P....

    No wonder David isn't getting any bites...he's too busy watching those dadgum women folk!

    J.... P....

    J Price I don't blame him I'd be doing the same exact thing.

  32. G.... ....

    Isn't this the same bridge that Rodney Adkins used for his video "Take a back road"?

  33. L.... C....

    DODGE BABY!

  34. l.... p....

    my goodness he is sooooo purdy!!!!!!

  35. C.... F....

    Ponyville Ranger just make sure you don't get a newer dodge with the 4.7 liter or 287 as we call it. They are junk they drop valve seats and ruin the heads etc. I work in a machine shop and we get thousands of them to repair so I know what im talking about. Plus when you someone wants to hop that engine up you can't deck the block very much at all to get compression up.

  36. R.... B....

    I have two Chevy's, but I still love Ford and Dodge as well. Anyone that comes up to me putting down either make gets an earful. To me, all three are great. Chevy: Runs deep. Ford: Found on road dominating. And Dodge: Grab life by the horns. I may drive a Chevy, but if I had the money and the space I'd own an old Dodge and Ford too.

  37. f.... ....

    Geez, she has a deep voice.

  38. b.... b....

    agread ford

  39. B.... G....

    Its funny how there is Ford vs Cummins and chevy people are just left in a corner crying

  40. O.... S....

    I rather hear him singing , than writing for somene else though!
    Don't you agree?

  41. N.... F....

    I love how one line was about fords and chevys and 90 percent of the comment section is about trucks. hahah

  42. D.... B....

    How about finding some stuff out on your own. in 2010 Toyota had the number 1 American manufactured car (Camry). Toyota also has 3 cars (Camry, Tundra and Sequoia) that where 80% of the car was manufactured here in the US. That beats Chevrolet and GMC.

  43. c.... b....

    I like the girls on the boat,nest part of the video.

  44. d.... g....

    can't believe i wasted 3 mins. of my life watching for three girls, glad i had the sound off

  45. e.... ....

    best of both worlds... Fumins swap!!

  46. W.... I....

    fuck toyotas

  47. M.... S....

    good advice!

  48. C.... D....

    5.9 All day.

  49. 0.... ....

    If i were those girls, i'd been afraid of a snake in that murky water. That looks like the home of many water moccasins. :-O Who knows, maybe they put something in the water to keep them away just for that song..

  50. T.... R....

    Thumbs up for them POWERSTROKES!...

  51. k.... d....

  55. R.... T....

    Google : Biscuit Loves Brooke . The fact of Knowing Lifer was a gift , The fact that Life is what you make it

  56. M.... M....

    powerchoke

  57. M.... C....

  58. D.... L....

    very cute

  59. a.... g....

    he was driing a FORD

  60. h.... ....

    has anyone noticed that most country songs with fishing are love songs

  61. O.... S....

    David...where he heck have you disappered? We miss your music. If you read this, please come back, and make some real country music again. All we have now, are make believe country singers, that hurts our heardrums.

  62. D.... T....

    Party Crowd was played at my best friends funeral! He made me promise and I always keep my word. Especially when it comes to close friends and "some" relatives. He had saved my life a few times and I'd saved his ass once or twice. I couldn't do anything about the brain cancer. Wish I could have. R.I.P. Greg.

  63. A.... D....

    I'm a GM guy but I'd take a ford also. Would never own a dodge.

  64. t.... f....

    i dont care what kind of truck it is if it runs good and it is a good price ill buy it. PERIOD

  65. D.... H....

    welp 145 people says your wrong

  66. D.... 3....

    i agree with you man, chev and GMC are shit, i used to like chev but after owning many of them, they are notorious for shit breaking on them, having to have them constantly repaired. I switched over to dodge and have yet to repair or replace anything but the windsheild. Have yet to own a ford however.

  67. z.... ....

    When was it that women didn't have there buttcracks hangin out? I think it has tamed down some from the 80's.

  68. S.... ....

    Back when women were still sexy without their buttcracks hangin all out.

  69. K.... ....

    Ford and Dodge used to be worth agueing over. They both suck now. Too high priced for parts made in Mexico in my opinion.

  70. A.... A....

    How is youtube gonna disgrace DLM by putting a Nicki Minaj Banner around his video!!! WTF

  71. T.... ....

    ford is a whole lot better and so is dodge

  72. C.... ....

    DLM and Sally Cantrell should just fuck already.

  73. s.... s....

    dear lord hes sexy

  74. z.... o....

    at 2:15 a fish jumped behind him

  75. T.... ....

    Closed faced reel :(

  76. M.... ....

    can't even listen to some country without gay ass vevo suggesting some gay ass music

  77. T.... T....

    I love his eyes!

  78. n.... ....

    weak, ford 460 is where its at

  79. g.... ....

    bobbers? push button reels? fake bait? great song but really? oh btw CUMMINS BIIITTTCH

  80. R.... ....

  84. P.... ....

    Thumbs up for Cummins Turbo?

  85. B.... C....

    Thumbs up for Jeeps!!

  86. a.... ....

    Footnote on Linguistics............The accent you guys use in youre assorted Southern states can be heard in Eastern "Maritime" Canada in very rural places among very old folks. But its not as thick as youres, but its clearly an "Appalachian" dialect fused with the old British/Gaelic accents! Its a slower "drawl" than a high speed "Newfie" accent is.

  87. a.... ....

    this cats reeally good at singin! *****

  88. M.... ....

    @visionvortex1 Thumbs up for American auto manufactures that can run a business, and don't require the government to step in and bail them out!

  89. J.... ....

    .....holy shit this song is just god awful......

  90. b.... ....

    @visionvortex1 i was just about to say the same thing. who cares if its ford chevy or dodge? they're all american and not just ASSEMBLED in america. might as well slap a sticker that says "warning: this vehicle made on foreign soil, honk if plastic falls off"

  91. d.... ....

    My ex saw this video and stopped letting me go fishing by myself.Yeah,right.The fish aren't biting but there's a houseboat full of hot women floating by everytime I go.

  92. m.... c....
