Once upon a time a boy was going fishing he asked a little girl if she could go with him

I'm looking for the rest of this song because my grandma used to sing it to me when I was little

I got this 78 from my mom and I was extremely bummed out when it broke. I still remember a lot of the lyrics.
Once upon a time a little boy was going fishing
And he asked a little girl to come along
She said wait till I run and ask my mommy
Presently she came back and sang this song
Mama told me I couldn't go fishing with you
She said we women gt the flame
When men start playing that fishing game
And just why I can't go fishing with you
I asked my mama and she said No
That ain't a place for little girls to go
She made me listen and understand
She met papa on the Rio Grande
And papa had more than fishing on his mind
Mama told me I couldn't go fishing with you
Papa tried to catch him a big walleye
The fish got away but here am I
And that's just why I can't go fishing with you

Who sang it? I don't have a clue.

I used to sing it when I was a kid and then to my kids!
Once upon a time a little boy was going fishing and he asked a little girl to go along
She said wait and let me run and ask my mama and presently she came back and singing this song
Mama said I couldn't go fishing with you
She said we'd fish and fish all night and then come home without a bite....
