Catfish Blues - Live at Olympia Theatre, October 9, 1967

[Spoken Intro: Jimi Hendrix, crowd]
Have you ever heard of Mississippi?
Yeah!
Heh, heh
Have you ever heard of muddy waters?
Have you ever heard of Johnny [?]
Give me an A
So let us do a lil' blues, mix it all with our own kinda way
We have to do it our own way, The Experience way, right?
And it goes something like this here:

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Well, I wish I was a catfish
Swimming in, Lord, the deep blue sea
I'd have all you pretty women
Fishing after me, fishing after me
Fishing after me, yeah
Ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah

[Verse 2]
When I went down, my girlfriends house
And I sat down, Lord, on her front step
And she said, "Come in now Jimi
My husband just now left, just now left"
Ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah

[Verse 3]
Well there's two, two trains running
But there's not one, Lord, that's going my way
You know there's a one train running at midnight
Other ones leave just for a day
Leave just for a day

[Outro]
Ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah

[Instrumental Outro]
