Catfish Blues
[Verse 1]
Oh, I wish, I wish I was a catfish
Swimin' in-a deep blue sea
And have all you handsome men come-a
Fishin' after me
Fishin' after me
Fishin' after me
Mm-hmm

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm tired, and I'm hungry
Draggin' in on dirty shoes
If I clean up, baby
Can I come home with you?
Can I come home with you?
Can I come home with you?
Mm-hmm

[Verse 3]
Well, if I can't, I can't come in, baby
Let me sit down by your door
I'll leave so early
That your woman won't know
Woman won't know
Won't ever know
Mm-hmm
[Verse 4]
Well, I know, I know you don't want me
Why in the world don't you tell me so?
Then, I won't come hangin' 'round
Your door no more
Your door no more
Your door no more
Uh-huh

[Verse 5]
Well, I know, I know, my littlе baby
He is goin' to jump and shout
When that train pulls in
And I come walkin' out
I comе walkin' out
I come walkin' out
Mm-hmm

[Verse 6]
Oh, I wish, I wish I was a catfish
Swimin' in-a deep blue sea
I'd have all you handsome men come-a
Fishin' after me
Fishin' after me
Fishin' after me
[Outro]
Fishin'
Fishin'
Fishin'
