Catfish Blues

(album: Mkutano Meets The Culture Musical Club Of Zanzibar - 2005)

Oh, I wish I was a catfish
Swimming into the deep blue sea
I'd have all the good looking women
Swimming after me
Swimming after me
Swimming after me

'Cause these blues, oh, these blues
'Cause I'm going to the little girl's house, oh
Maybe you can find her
Timbuktu to Bamako
Timbuktu to Bamako
Timbuktu to Bamako

Oh, I wish, oh honey, I can holler her
I keep on howling till I get
My baby back
Your baby back
My baby back

Well, it's two trains running
Can never go my way
I'm gonna ride the first thing smoking
Down the road I go
Down the road I go

Said now, I wish I was a catfish
Swimming into the deep blue sea
I'd have all you good looking women
Swimming after me
Swimming after me
Swimming after me

Oh, rolling on, oh, rolling on
Oh, rolling on, oh, rolling on
