Tampa Red — Kingfish Blues lyrics

Lyrics

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
