Question
sitting here in the office and my boss just came in asking me who sings this song about life slowing down, and something about Mayberry......i don't have a clue, from the words he is telling me, any idea?

Answer
Hello Tiffany,

I wonder if he's referring to the song from the old "Andy Griffiths Show / Mayberry"........

"The Fishing Hole"

Well, now, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at the fishin' hole,
We may not get a bite all day, but don't you rush away.
 
What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skippin' stones,
You'll feel fresh as a lemonade, a-settin' in the shade.
 
Whether it's hot, whether it's cool, oh what a spot for whistlin' like a fool.
 
What a fine day to take a stroll and wander by the fishin' hole,
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.
 
We'll have no need to call the roll when we get to the fishin' Hole,
There'll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey, to doodle time away.
 
If we don't hook a perch or bass, we'll cool our toes in dewy grass,
Or else pull up a weed to chaw, and maybe set and jaw.
 
Hangin' around, takin' our ease, watchin' that hound a-scratchin' at his fleas.
 
Come on, take down your fishin' pole and meet me at the fishin' hole,
I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day.


Let me know if that's not the one. Cheers........Mel.
