Does anyone know where tab and lyrics can be found for "Fishin' Blues"? I have a nice acoustic version recorded by Taj Mahal and would like to learn the song.

Here's the words, I've got the tab somewhere too, can fax to you if you send me a # or can possibly email to you direct (need your address)

FISHIN' BLUES
Bet you goin' fishin' all of the time.
Baby goin' fishin' too.
Bet your life that your sweet wife
gonna catch more fish than you.
Many fish bite if you got good bait.
Here's a little tip that I'd like to relate,
Many fish bite if you got good bait.
I'm a-goin' fishin', Yes I'm goin' fishin'
And my baby's goin' fishin' too.

I went on down to my favorite fishin' hole,
Baby grab me a pole and line.
Throw my pole on in caught a nine pound catfish,
Now I brought him home for suppertime,
provin'....
Many fish bite.........

Baby brother 'bought to run me out of my mind,
Sayin' can't I go fishin' with you.
I took him on down to the fishin' 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.
Many fish bite.......

Put him in the pot baby put him in the pan,
Honey cook him till he's nice and brown.
Make a batch of buttermilk coldcakes mama,
then chew those things and chomp 'em on down,
Singing Many fish bite.........


Repeat vs 1


Send me an email address, I will send you tab (if I can find it!) [e-mail]
