Catfish Kate
Charles Thompson
Call me devil, call me friend, but call me Black Jack Hooligan
I came all the way from Aberdeen
To live among the go-betweens
Let me tell you tell you about Catfish Kate
In the time before when she's just Kate
Here in the mountains all alone
Before the time we called this home
Where is my angel fallen
Down at the river bottom
And will she get away?
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Is she just playing possum
Who lives another day?
Here in the valley that we all know
A river bend that's deep and slow
Where every creature drinks their fill
And other creatures take their kill
Now Kate had went to catch a fish
To put inside her favorite dish
A catfish grabbed her by the head
And took her to his house instead
Where is my angel fallen
Down at the river bottom
And will she get away?
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Is she just playing possum
Who lives another day?
Well, they wrestled all the day and night
The morning showed the bloody sight
Kate all dressed in catfish clothes
His whiskers for her catfish robe
Whiskers for her robe
Where is my angel fallen
Down at the river bottom
And is she there to stay?
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Is she just playing possum
Who lives another day?
Now she's known as Catfish Kate
Call me devil, call me friend, but call me Black Jack Hooligan
Chame-me de diabo, chame-me de amigo, mas chame-me de Black Jack Hooligan
I came all the way from Aberdeen
Eu vim todo o caminho de Aberdeen
To live among the go-betweens
Para viver entre os intermediários
Let me tell you tell you about Catfish Kate
Deixe-me contar sobre a Catfish Kate
In the time before when she's just Kate
No tempo antes quando ela era apenas Kate
Here in the mountains all alone
Aqui nas montanhas completamente sozinha
Before the time we called this home
Antes do tempo que chamávamos isso de lar
Where is my angel fallen
Onde está meu anjo caído
Down at the river bottom
Lá no fundo do rio
And will she get away?
E ela conseguirá escapar?
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Onde está minha flor de Blackfoot
Is she just playing possum
Ela está apenas fingindo de morta
Who lives another day?
Quem vive mais um dia?
Here in the valley that we all know
Aqui no vale que todos nós conhecemos
A river bend that's deep and slow
Uma curva do rio que é profunda e lenta
Where every creature drinks their fill
Onde cada criatura bebe sua parte
And other creatures take their kill
E outras criaturas fazem sua matança
Now Kate had went to catch a fish
Agora Kate foi pegar um peixe
To put inside her favorite dish
Para colocar em seu prato favorito
A catfish grabbed her by the head
Um bagre a pegou pela cabeça
And took her to his house instead
E a levou para sua casa em vez disso
Where is my angel fallen
Onde está meu anjo caído
Down at the river bottom
Lá no fundo do rio
And will she get away?
E ela conseguirá escapar?
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Onde está minha flor de Blackfoot
Is she just playing possum
Ela está apenas fingindo de morta
Who lives another day?
Quem vive mais um dia?
Well, they wrestled all the day and night
Bem, eles lutaram o dia e a noite toda
The morning showed the bloody sight
A manhã mostrou a visão sangrenta

Seus bigodes para seu manto de bagre
Whiskers for her robe
Bigodes para seu manto
Where is my angel fallen
Onde está meu anjo caído
Down at the river bottom
Lá no fundo do rio
And is she there to stay?
E ela está lá para ficar?
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Onde está minha flor de Blackfoot
Is she just playing possum
Ela está apenas fingindo de morta
Who lives another day?
Quem vive mais um dia?
