Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Fishin' in the Dark

Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight

Shinin' through the trees

Crickets are singin' and lightning bugs

Are floatin' on the breeze baby get ready

Across the field where the creek turns back

By the old stump row

I'm gonna take you to a special place

That nobody knows baby get ready

You and me go 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

Spring is almost over and the summer's come

And 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

You and me go 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

You and me go fishin'

(You and me go fishin in the dark)

In the dark lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars

Where the cool grass grows, down by the river

(Down by the light)

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 go fishin'

(You and me go fishin in the dark)

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 light)

We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
