Robert Petway Catfish Blues
Well I lay down down last night : well I tried to take my
rest
Notion struck me last night baby : I believe I take a
stroll out west
Well if I were a catfish mama : I said swimming deep down
in the deep blue sea
All these gals now sweet mama : I said now setting out
hooks for me
Well I went down yeah down to the churchhouse : yes well
they called on me to pray
Got on my knees now mama : I didn't know not not a word
to say
Somebody write write me a letter baby : I'm going to
write it just you see
See if my baby my baby : do she thinking of little old
thing of me
