Robert Petway - Catfish Blues lyrics

rate me

Well I laid down, down last night, well I tried to take my rest<br />

Notion struck me last night, babe I, I believe I take a stroll out, out west<br />

Take a stroll out, out west, take a stroll out, out west<br />

Take a stroll out west, take a stroll out west<br />

<br />

What if I were a catfish, mama?<br />

I said, swimmin’ deep down in, deep blue sea<br />

Have these gals now, sweet mama, settin’ out<br />

Settin’ out hooks for, for me, settin’ out hook for, for me<br />

Settin’ out hook for, for me, settin’ out hook for me<br />

Settin’ out hook for me, settin’ out hook for me<br />

<br />

Well I went down, yeah, down to the church house, yes<br />

Well I called on me to pray<br />

Fell on my knees, now mama, I didn’t know, Lord<br />

Not a word to, to say, not a word to, to say, not a word to<br />

Not a word to, not a word to say, not a word to say, not a word to say<br />

<br />

Play ‘em, man, play ‘em a long time<br />

<br />

I’m gonna write, write me a letter baby, I’m gonna write it just to see<br />

See my babe, my baby who she’s thinkin’ of<br />

Little ol’ thing on, on me, little ol’ thing on, on me, little ol’ thing on, on me<br />

Little ol’ thing on me, little ol’ thing on me, a little thing on me
