Taj Mahal Lyrics Fishin' Blues (Henry Thomas) Betcha goin' fishin' all of your time, baby's goin' fishing too Bet your life, your sweet life, catch more fish than you Many fish bites if ya got good bait Here's a little tip i would like to relate Corus: Big fish bites if ya got a good bait I 'a goin' fishin' Yes i'm goin' fishin' And my baby's goin' fishin' too. I went down to my favorite fishin' hole Baby grabbed me a pole and line Throw my pole on in Caught a nine pound catfish now i brought him on home for supper time. Chorus Baby brother nout to run me outa my mind Say can i go fishin' wit' you? I took him on down to the fishin' hole now what do you think he did do? Pulled a great big fish outa the bottom of the pond And he laughed and jumped 'cause he was real gone. Chorus Put 'em in the pot baby, put 'em in the pan Honey cook 'em til' they're nice and brown Make a batch of buttermilk coal cakes mama And you chew them things And you chomp 'em on down Chorus Betcha goin' fishin' all of your time, baby's goin' fishing too Bet your life, your sweet life, catch more fish than you Many fish bites if ya got good bait Here's a little tip i would like to relate.
