Fishin' Blues Lyrics
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
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
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
Baby brother 'bout to run me outta 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 outta the bottom of the pond
And he laughed and jumped 'cause he was real gone
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
Put 'em in the pot baby, put 'em in the pan
Honey cook 'em till' they're nice and brown
Make a batch of buttermilk coal cakes mama
And you chew them things
And you chomp 'em on down
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
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
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
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
I 'a goin' fishin'
Yes, I'm goin' fishin'
And my baby's goin' fishin' too
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
I'a goin' fishin'
Yes, I'm goin' fishin'
And my baby's goin' fishin' too
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 outta the bottom of the pond
And he laughed and jumped 'cause he was real gone
I'a goin' fishin'

And my baby's goin' fishin' too
Honey cook 'em till' they're nice and brown
Make a batch of buttermilk coal cakes mama

And you chomp 'em on down
I'a goin' fishin'

And my baby's goin' fishin' too
Bet your life, your sweet life, catch more fish than you
Many fish bites if ya got good bait

I'a goin' fishin'
Yes, I'm goin' fishin'
And my baby's goin' fishin' too

Firstys!! These lyrics arn't all that hard to figure out, it's all about fishin' man!! No one listens to this stuff anymore....sad.
Besides being about Fishing, I think Fishing could be a metaphor for relationships with women.... Similar to: "Many Fish in the sea"...
And many fish bite if you got good bait meaning that he can get ladies cuz he has the goods.. (whatever it may be that attracts women... if you find out, let me know!)
I don't know why, but I always viewed this song with this subtle undertone as well... maybe I'm crazy.. But I love Taj... one of my favorites!
this song is about an acid trip.
