King Fish Blues - Tampa Red

Little minnows in the river: kingfish in the deep blue sea

Lord I got a gang of women: trying to get a chance with me

You may think it’s all right: but baby doll can’t you see

Now you know doggone well: you are getting out of place with me

I will play kingfish: if you act just like the minnows do

In case old Tampa Red should flutter: don’t you be ashamed to shoo

Now I’m a kingfish papa: and I know what kind of bait to choose

That’s why so many women: crying those kingfish blues
