Fishin' Blues

[Pre-Chorus: Taj Mahal/Henry Saint Clair Fredericks] Bet your going fishing all of the time Baby going fishing too Bet your life, your sweet wife Will catch more fish than you [Chorus: Taj Mahal] 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 going fishing, yes I'm going fishing And my baby going fishing too [Verse 1: Taj Mahal] I went on down to my favorite fishing hole Baby grabbed me a pole and a line Throwed my pole on in, caught a nine pound catfish 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 [Chorus: Taj Mahal] Many fish bites if you've got good bait I'm a going fishing, yes I'm going fishing And my baby goin' fishin' too [Verse 2: Taj Mahal] Baby brother 'bout to run me up out of my mind Saying, "Can I go fishing with you?" I took him on down to the fishing hole Now, what do 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 [Chorus: Taj Mahal] Many fish bites if you've got good bait I'm a going fishing, yes I'm going fishing And my baby goin' fishin' too [Verse 3: Taj Mahal] Put him in the pot baby, put him in the pan Honey, cook him 'til he's nice and brown Make a batch of buttermilk hoecakes 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 [Chorus: Taj Mahal] Many fish bites if you got good bait I'm a going fishing, yes I'm going fishing And my baby going fishing too Play the blues...
