Catfish Songtext
von John Lee Hooker

Oh, oh!
I′m going away
I'm going away
I won′t leave back no more
I wish I was a catfish
Deep down in, a deep blue sea
I have all of these women
Fishin' after me
Fishin' after me
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Ow, Oh yeah


Oh, oh!
I′m going away
Gentle word of my mind
The more you try for the drying way
The more you try
The more you try for the (?)
Be from your door
Be from your door
Be from your door
Be from your door

Oh yeah
Which town
What home
What home

I wish I was a catfish
Swimin′ down, the deep blue sea
Oh Hoo!
Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!

Yes, I wish I
Was a catfish
Swimin' in the, deep blue sea
I have all of these good lookin′ women
Fishin' after me
Oh yeah
Oh hoo!
I′m talking about my baby
Oh yeah
Oh yeah


Woah, haa, talking about my baby
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

I wish I
Was a catfish
Swimin' in the deep blue sea
I have all the good lookin′ women
Fishin' after me
Fishin' after me
I′m talking about after me
After me

Oh yeah
I′m going
Try I won't make mistake
Won′t make mistake
Won't make mistake
The more you try, for the (?) way
For the (?) way
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Ow, ow!
Ow, ow, baby that hurt me so bad
It hurts me so bad

I wish I was a catfish
Swimin′ in the deep blue sea
All of these women
Fishin' after me

Oh, oh!
I ain′t coming back
I'm going away
I ain't coming back no more
I wish I was a catfish
Swimin′ in the deep blue sea
Woah, yeah
I′m talking about the catfish
Talking about the catfish
Talking about the catfish
Ooh, ow!
Oh yeah!
