| Well, I laid down, down last night
|
| Well, I tried to take my rest
|
| Notion struck me last night, babe
|
| I b’lieve I take your stroll out, h’out west
|
| Take your stroll out, h’out west
|
| Take your stroll out, h’out west
|
| Take a stroll out west
|
| Take a stroll out west
|
| Well, if I were a catfish, mama
|
| I says, swimmin' deep down in the blue sea
|
| Have these girls now, sweet mama
|
| Settin' out, settin' out hooks for po' me
|
| Settin' out hooks for-h'or me
|
| Settin' out hooks for-h'or me
|
| Settin' down hook for me
|
| Settin' down hook for me
|
| Settin' down hook for me
|
| Well, I went down, yes!
|
| Down to the church house, yes!
|
| Well, I was called on me to pray
|
| Fell on my knees, now
|
| Mama, I didn’t know one
|

|
| I’m gonna write, write me a letter, baby
|
| I’m gonna write it just to see
|
| See if my baby, my baby, do she think of
|
| Little old thing, on po' me
|
| Little old thing, on po' me

|
| Little old thing for me
