Fish Pie Blues

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
