Fish Pie Blues Lyrics

Well I've done no fishin' for a mighty long time

But I has a disposition to cast out my baited line

I ain't eaten good fish, for a mighty long time

My perch pole is long and it don't hardly bend

All I needs is a good fish to dangle on the end

I ain't eaten good fish, for a mighty long time

Once had a girl who let me fish in her pool

When her mamma finally caught me

Sent her off to Sunday school

I ain't eaten good fish, for a mighty long time

Now it seems to me when I gets my tackle out

Them fish ponds get all dried up

And there's no fishing hereabouts

I ain't eaten good fish, for a mighty long time

Let me ask you peoples, what's a poor boy 'spose to do

When there ain't no fish a-biting, I get them fish pie blues

I ain't eaten good fish, for a mighty long time

There ain't no sweet fishin' on this poor boys line
