    What is the name of this song and who does it?
    I need to know who sings this country song and the name of it. Some of the words I know are real spotty. I don't know all the lines. It talks about the sun coming up, that summers coming and the days are getting long. It also talks about ligthning bugs floating on the trees.

    Impress me and thanks for the help!!

    Is this it? Garth Brooks
    "Fishin' In The Dark"

    Lazy yellow moon coming up tonight
    Shining through the trees
    Crickets are singing and lightning bugs
    Are floating on the breeze
    Baby, get ready

    'Cross the field where the cerrk turns back
    By the old stump road
    I'm going to take you to a special place
    That nobody knows
    Baby, get ready

    You and me going fishin' in the dark
    Lying on our backs and counting the stars
    Where the cool grass grows
    Down by the river in the full moonlight
    We'll be falling in love in the middle of the night
    Just moving slow
    Spend the whole night through
    Feels so good to be with you

    Spring is almost over and the summer's coming
    The days are getting long
    I've 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
    We'll jump in the river and cool ourselves
    From the heat of the night
    Baby, get ready

    You and me going fishin' in the dark
    Lying on our backs and counting the stars
    Where the cool grass grows
    Down by the river in the full moonlight
    We'll be falling in love in the middle of the night
    Just moving slow
    Spend the whole night through
    Feels so good to be with you

    You and me going fishin' in the dark
    Lying on our backs and counting the stars
    Where the cool grass grows
    Down by the river in the full moonlight
    We'll be falling in love in the middle of the night
    Just moving slow
    Spend the whole night through
    Feels so good to be with you

    I bet a fish dinner they all did remakes.
    Now what's the bet on who did the original?
    I place my fish on Garth!

    All right, I see that Emerson Drive also did it. But I've never heard garth sing it... and I've loved garth my entire life! I'm about 95% sure that Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did it first

    Yeah I was just thinking Nitty Gritty Dirt Band would have to have done it first because they are from the 60's 70's so the fish is on me!

    Ok... from what I could find, the song was written/copyrighted in 1987 (Jim Photoglo / Wendy Waldman).

    Garth released it on The Lost Sessions box set in 2005/6-ish... depends, it was released through the Wal-Mart deal and then later independently...
    Emerson Drive released it on What If? In 2004...
    Nitty Gritty Dirt Band released it on Hold On in 1987...

    DING DING DING we have a winner...

    I've seen Nitty Gritty in concert half a dozen times and have met the guys. My brother was a marketing mngr. and entertainment booking agent, so I got to meet a lot of bands that came to town. Trust me, It's Nitty Gritty who did 'Fishin In The Dark' originally.

    So many good songs came out of that band, and lots of remakes of a lot of their songs have been made.

    Nitty Gritty also did the most popular remake themselves of Mr Bojangles originally done by Sammy Davis Jr.
