Catfish Blues
 

Well I lay down down last night : well I tried to take my rest

Notion struck me last night baby : I believe I take a stroll out west

Well if I were a catfish mama : I said swimming deep down in the deep blue sea

All these gals now sweet mama : I said now setting out hooks for me

Well I went down yeah down to the churchhouse : yes well they called on me to pray

Got on my knees now mama : I didn't know not not a word to say

Somebody write write me a letter baby : I'm going to write it just you see

See if my baby my baby : do she thinking of little old thing of me
