Catfish John Lyrics
Yes I wish I was a catfish
Swimming in the oh deep blue sea
I'd have all of these good looking women
Fishing after me I mean after me
Sure 'nough after me oh oh Lord
Yes I went down to the river
Started to jump over board and drown
Yes yes yes got to thinking 'bout my baby
I turned short around
Sure 'nough short around
Yes I went to my baby's house
And I sat down on her step
She said Come on in now Johnny
Oh Lord my husband just now left
Husband just now left
Sure enough just sure enough
Just now left sure enough just
Got something to tell you oh Lord baby
Baby you know that ain't right
You cook cornbread for your husband
And biscuits for your man
Biscuits for your man
Biscuits for your man
Biscuits for your man
Biscuits for your man
Oh Lord oh Lord baby
Lord you know I'm going away
Yes I'm going away now
Now now baby oh Lord
Crying won't make crying won't make
Crying won't make me stay
