catfish blues

b.b. king

well

i wish i was a catfish

swimmin' in the deep blue sea

i'd have all you women

fishin' after me

fishin' after me

fishin' after me

well

i'm broke and i'm hungry

ragged and i'm dirty too

well

if i clean up

baby

can i

stay home with you

stay home with you

stay home with you

if i can't

can't come in

let me sit down front of your door

i'll leave so early

your

mom won't know

won't never know

won't never know

oh

i know

know my baby

well

she's going to jump and shout

when my train pulls in and i

i come walkin' out

come walkin' out

come walkin' out

yes

i'm goin'

babe i'm goin'

and your crying won't make me stay

oh

the more that you cry

baby

more i'll go away

more i'll go away

more i'll go away

well now i know

i know you don't want me

why in the world won't you tell me so?

then i won't be caught

baby

'round

your house no more

your house no more

your house no more
