Fishin' Blues Songtext
von Taj Mahal

I betcha′ goin' fishin′ all o' the time
Baby goin' fishin′ too
Bet you life, your sweet wife
Is gonna catch more fish than you

Many fish bites if you got good bait
Here′s a little tip that I would like to relate
With my pole and my line
I'm a goin′ fishin', yes I′m goin' fishin′
And my baby goin' fishin' too

I went on down my favorite fishin′ hole
Baby got myself a pole an′ line
Caught a nine poun' catfish
On the bottom, yes I got him
And I brought him home to my mom about supper time

Singin′ many fish bites if you got good bait
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
Many fish bites if you got good bait
I′m a goin' fishin′, yes I'm goin' fishin′
And my baby goin′ fishin' too


Baby brother ′bout to run me up outta my mind
Sayin', "Can I go fishin′ with you?"
So I took him on down to the favorite fishin' hole
Now what do you think that brother of mine did do?

Caught a seven poun′ catfish
On the bottom yes he got him
Took him home to mama he was real gone
With his pole and his line
He was goin' fishin', yes he goin′ fishin′
And baby goin' fishin′ too

Put him in the pot, baby put him in the pan
Mama cook him till he nice an' brown
Get yourself a batch o′ buttermilk, whole cakes mama
An' you put that sucker on the table and eat it on down

Singin′ many fish bites if you got good bait
Well here's a little tip that I would like to relate
With my pole and my line
I'm a goin′ fishin′, yes I'm goin′ fishin'
My baby gone fishin′ too

I betcha' goin′ fishin' all o' the time
Mama goin′ fishin′ too
Bet you life, your sweet life
I gonna catch more fish than you


Many fish bites if you got good bait
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate
With my pole and my line
I′m a goin' fishin′, yes I'm goin′ fishin'
And my baby goin' fishin′ too

I′m a goin' fishin′, yes I'm goin′ fishin'
And my baby goin′ fishin' too
I'm a goin′ fishin′, yes I'm goin′ fishin'
And my baby goin′ fishin' too
