LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS
- Catfish Blues Lyrics / with translations(Traditional)
You know I wished I was a catfish, swimming in that
deep blue sea
I'd have all the good looking women there boy, fishing
after me
Fishing after me
Ooh ooh
I went down to my baby's house
She said, "Lightnin', come on in
Ain't nobody here with me good Lord
You know I'm your friend"
You know I went down to my baby's house, Lord, I sat
down on them steps
She said, "Come on in this house Lightnin', husband
just now left
My husband just now left, sho'h 'nough I'm by myself
He just now left"
You know I went down to the river, started jump
overboard and drown
I thought about that little mama, turned around, I went
walking back to town
Back to town
Back to town
Sho'h 'nough, back to town
You know I wish I was a catfish, swimming, Lord in that
deep blue sea
I'd have all the good looking women's, fishing after me
Fishing after me
Sho'h 'nough
Ain't lying
Mmm mmmm
You know I wished I was a catfish, swimming in that
deep blue sea
I'd have all the good looking women there boy, fishing
after me
Fishing after me
Ooh ooh
I went down to my baby's house
She said, "Lightnin', come on in
Ain't nobody here with me good Lord
You know I'm your friend"
You know I went down to my baby's house, Lord, I sat
down on them steps
She said, "Come on in this house Lightnin', husband
just now left
My husband just now left, sho'h 'nough I'm by myself
You know I went down to the river, started jump
overboard and drown
I thought about that little mama, turned around, I went
walking back to town
Back to town
Back to town
Sho'h 'nough, back to town
You know I wish I was a catfish, swimming, Lord in that
deep blue sea
I'd have all the good looking women's, fishing after me
Fishing after me
Sho'h 'nough
Ain't lying
Mmm mmmm
