Fishing Blues - Henry Thomas - Taj Mahal

Sy went fishing at his favorite fishing hole and caught a nine pound rockfish. He brought his catch to a local fish fry. Sy's baby brother kept begging to go fishing with him. Sy took his brother along, and the boy ended up catching a big fish, which delighted him. The song concludes with the singer declaring that he's going fishing again, and his baby brother is coming along too.
