I was a little surprised at the sexual euphemisms in this song! It seems he can't perform and his woman is having sex with someone else out of lack of understanding. 'someone fishing in my pond'. There also soars to be a reference to him discovering 'dead shrimp in' which could mean sloppy 2nd hand seconds yuk! The mention of his fishing hole being closed and his woman sticking her mouth out in a pout whilst not letting him put anything in there either is quite explicit & a wonder it got passed the censor! He also refers to relieving himself solo in the line 'got myself unwound'
One of Johnson's other songs he mentions a woman 'squeezing his lemon to the juice run down my leg.' actually a spoken line aside rather than sung.
Lucky the Censor was as useless as most Bureaucrats otherwise we would have been robbed of these incredible musical masterpieces that sound like a whole band playing! AO
