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

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

I dug enough bait to catch a few 

My reeling's wet but I cannot forget 

Mama's got the catfish blues, yeah
