Catfish Blues lyrics

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 nuff 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
I went walking back to town
Back to town
Back to town
Sho nuff, 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 womens
Fishing after me
Fishing after me
Sho nuff
Ain`t lying
Mmm mmmm
