Fishin' Blues - Taj Mahal
Written by：Henry Thomas
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 come myself a pole an line
Caught a nine pound catfish
On the bottom yes I got him
And I brought him home to my mom about supper time
Singin' little 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 about 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 pound 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'
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
Ain't 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
Betcha' goin' fishin' all o' the time
Mama goin' fishin' too
Bet your 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
