  • 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, "C'mon in now, Muddy
    You know, my husband just now left
    Sure 'nough, he just now left
    Sure 'nough, he just now left
    Oh Lord, oh well, oh well

    Well, my mother told my father,
    Just before hmmm, I was born,
    "I got a boy child's comin',
    Gonna be, he 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 Writer/s: MC KINLEY MORGANFIELD
