Fishing Blues

Taj Mahal

Betcha' goin' fishing, all the time

Baby goin fishing too

Bet your life, your sweet wife

catch more fish than you



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 fishing, yes I'm goin fishing

and my Baby goin fishing, too



I went on down to my favorite fishing hole

Baby grabbed me a pole and line

Throwed my pole on in

Caught a 9 pound Catfish

Now you know I brought him home for supper time



Proving, any 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 fishing, yes I'm goin fishing

and my Baby goin fishing, too



Baby brother 'bout to run me outta my mind

Say, can I go fishing with you?

I took him on down to the fishing hole

Now what did you think that he did do?



Pulled a great big fish out the bottom of the pond

Now he laughed and jumped 'cause he was real gone

Many fish bites, if you got good bait

I'm a goin fishing, yes I'm goin fishing

and my Baby goin fishing, too



Put him in the pot baby put him in the pan

honey cook 'em 'til their nice and brown.

Make a batch of butter milk hoe cakes mama

and you chew them things and you chomp 'em on down



Singing, any 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 fishing, yes I'm goin fishing

and my Baby goin fishing, too



First verse repeat
