Lyrics John Lee Hooker

John Lee Hooker

Catfish Blues

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
