Catfish Blues

Well I laid down, down last night

Well, I tried to take my rest

Notion struck me last night, babe

I believe I'll take a stroll out, out West

Take a stroll out, out West, take a stroll out, out West

Take a stroll out West, take a stroll out West

What if I were a catfish, Mama?

I said, swimming deep down in deep blue sea

Have these gals now, sweet Mama, setting out

Setting out hooks for, for me

Setting out hooks for, for me

Setting out hooks for, for me

Setting out a hook for me

Setting out a hook for me

Setting out a hook for me

Well I went down, yeah, down to the church house, yes

Well, I call on to pray

Fell on my knees now Mama, I didn't know Lord

Not a word to say, not a word to say

Not a word to, not a word to

Not a word to say, not a word to say

Not a word to say

Play 'em man, play 'em a long time

I'm gonna write, write me a letter, baby

I'm gonna write it just to see

See my baby, my baby, who's she thinking of

Little ol' thing on, on me, little ol' thing on, on me

Little ol' thing on, on me, little ol' thing on, on me

Little ol' thing on me, oh little ol' thing on me
