Catfish Blues Lyrics

Yeah, I wish
I was a catfish
Swimmin in a oh, deep, blue sea
I'd have all you pretty women,
Fishin after me, fishin after me, fishin after me yeah

Well, I'm broke and I'm hungry
Well, I'm Ragged and I'm dirty too
If I clean up now baby
Can I come home with you
Come home with you, yeah
Come home with you

If you don't let me in
Can I lay 'round your door
Yeah, I'll leave so early baby
Your man won't know, your man won't know, your man won't know

Yeah, I love
I love my baby
Yeah, she's gone, scream and shout
When my train comes rollin' in
And I come rollin' out
Come rollin' out
Come rollin' out

Yeah, I'm leavin'
I'm leavin' you baby
And your crying won't make me stay
Yeah, the more you cry, baby
Further I'll go away
Further I'll go away
Further I'll go away

And I know, I know you don't want me
Yeah, I wanted you darlin'
You tell me so
Well you ain't got to worry about me
Hangin' round' no more
Hangin' round' no more
Hangin' round' no more

What is the Meaning of Catfish Blues?

Dive into the deep blue of longing with this bluesy number where our main man fancies himself a catfish, swimming in a sea of lady admirers. But alas, reality bites harder than a catfish's nibble! He’s broke, ragged, and maybe a tad too hopeful about cleaning up his act to win over his gal. As he wades through heartache and rejection, he realizes that no amount of her tears will anchor him down. It’s a classic tale of love and leaving, served up with a side of gritty guitar riffs. So next time you’re feeling blue, remember: even a catfish gets the blues but swims on regardless!
