Heritage Blues Orchestra - Catfish Blues lyrics

rate me

I wish I was a catfish

Swimming in the deep blue sea

I'd have so many women

Fishing after me!

If I was a catfish

And your belly was a pond

I'd jump down to the bottom

And make myself at home

You tell me I can get it

But you keep on snappin it back

Sometimes I believe

You got rubber in your back

If I hit it, tell me I can get it

If it takes me all night long

You can leave so early in the morning

And your real man’ll never know

I will tell you, tell you like the catfish

Like the catfish told the whale

He said you can move your belly

But baby please don’t move your tail

(you hold it right there)

My momma was a seamstress

And she learned me how to sew

My daddy was [a sawyer?]

And he taught me how to saw

The next time I get [married?]

[I ain't gonna buy me no new broom?]

She got hair down on her belly

[no idea...]
