Catfish Blues

John Lee Hooker

Well, I wish I was a catfish
Swimmin' in the, the deep blue sea
I have all you pretty women
Fishin' after me
Showin' up after me
Oh, well
Oh, well
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

Well, I went down
To my girlfriend's house
And I sat alone on her front step
And she said a-come in outcha man and just your love
I just now left
I just now left
And I say
Who, yeah?
She said sure enough you did
Who, yeah?
Who, yeah?
Who, yeah?
Oh, yeah

Yeah
Well, there's two
Two trains runnin'
But there's not a one that's goin' my way
You know there's a-one train running at midnight
The other one leave just for day
Leave just for day
Oh, well
Yeah

I role and I tumble
Practically all night long
I role and I tumble
Practically all night long
Well, my baby don't treat me well
Yeah
