Tom T. Hall - Mama's Got The Catfish Blues lyrics

I ain't had a bite 'cause the moon's too bright I wish I had a big one or two My crock line's set and my hooks are all wet And mama's got the catfish blues Don't like to see her unhappy She treats me like a water tree I hate to see mama with the catfish blues And the catfish are layin' in the river asleep There's a bottle of wine layin' easy on my mind I dug enough bait to catch a few My reeling's wet but I cannot forget Mama's got the catfish blues There's a turtle on the stump and the toadfrog jump And I guess, I could gig me a few In settlin' fog I caught a big water dog Mama's got the catfish blues I don't like to see her unhappy She treats me like a water tree I hate to see mama with the catfish blues And the catfish are layin' in the river asleep There's a bottle of wine layin' easy on my mind I dug enough bait to catch a few My reeling's wet but I cannot forget Mama's got the catfish blues, yeah
