Well, I wish I was a catfish,

Swimmin in a oh, deep, blue sea.

I would have all you good lookin women,

Fishin, fishin after me.

Sure 'nough, a-after me.

Sure 'nough, a-after me.

Oh 'nough, oh 'nough, sure 'nough.



I went to my baby's house,

And I sit down oh, on her steps.

She said, "Now, come on in now, Muddy."

"You know, my husband just now left."

"Sure 'nough, he just now left."

"Sure 'nough, he just now left."

Sure 'nough, oh well, oh well.



Well, my mother told my father,

Just before hmmm, I was born,

"I got a boy child's comin,"

"He's gonna be, he's gonna be a rollin stone,"

"Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone,"

"Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone,"

Oh well he's a, oh well he's a, oh well he's a.



Well, I feel, yes I feel,

Feel that I could lay down oh, time ain't long.

I'm gonna catch the first thing smokin,

Back, back down the road I'm goin.

Back down the road I'm goin.

Back down the road I'm goin.

Sure 'nough back, sure 'nough back.
