Tennessee Ernie Ford - Catfish Boogie lyrics

(Tennessee Ernie Ford) TENNESSEE ERNIE FORD (Capitol 2602, 1953) Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Woke up this morning about half past four Who'd I see tiptoeing cross my floor My everlovin' baby with a rod in her hand Headin' for the creek called Catfish Land She yelled at me and said, git up son Come along with me and let's have some fun I grabbed my bridges and a long cane pole Headed for the red hot catfish hole Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie, do it, baby with me We arrived post haste on the bank of the creek Don't make no noise, don't even speak She threaded a worm right on that hook And dropped it in the water in a shady nook The bopper jumped when mister whiskers hit My gal flipped and throed a fit She pulled and tugged and yelled, what's wrong I said, baby he's a big and that cat's real gone Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie, do it, baby with me We fished for a while, caught a great big mess A long string of blue cap hapiness She smiled at me and her eyes did roll She said, set your pole and let's take a stroll We walked along the creek, me and my miss She gave me a hug and a great big kiss She held me close and said, I love you I said, I got all of this and fishin' too Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie, do it, baby with me
