Call Me Darling, Call Me Sweetheart - Tennessee Ernie Ford

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
