Catfish Blues
Lightnin' \rHopkins

You know I wished I was a catfish

Swimmin' in that deep blue sea

I'd have all the good lookin' women there boy

Fishin' after me, fishin' after me, oh

I went down to my baby's house

She said, Lightnin', come on in

Ain't nobody here with me, good Lord

You know, I'm your friend

You know, I went down to my baby's house

Lord, I sat down on them steps

She said, Come on, in this house, Lightnin'

Husband just now left

My husband just now left

Show enough, I'm by myself

He just now left

You know, I went down to the river

Started jump overboard and drown

I thought about that little mama

Turned around now

Walkin' back to town

Back to town

Back to town

Show enough, back to town

You know, I wish I was a catfish

Swimmin', Lord in that deep blue sea

I'd have all the good lookin' womens

Fishin' after me, fishin' after me

Show enough

Ain't lyin'

Hmm, hmm
