Catfish Blues Lyrics

(Traditional)
You know I wished I was a catfish, swimming in that
Deep blue sea
I'd have all the good looking women there boy, fishing
After me
Fishing after me
Ooh ooh

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, sho'h 'nough I'm by myselfLightning Hopkins - Catfish Blues - http://motolyrics.com/lightning-hopkins/catfish-blues-lyrics.html
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, I went
Walking back to town
Back to town
Back to town
Sho'h 'nough, back to town

You know I wish I was a catfish, swimming, Lord in that
Deep blue sea
I'd have all the good looking women's, fishing after me
Fishing after me
Sho'h 'nough
Ain't lying
Mmm mmm
