Kingfish Blues

Kingfish Blues - Tampa Red

Little minnows in the river:

Kingfish in the deep blue sea

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

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

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

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
