Catfish Kate
Charles Thompson
Call me devil, call me friend, but call me Black Jack Hooligan
I came all the way from Aberdeen
To live among the go-betweens
Let me tell you tell you about Catfish Kate
In the time before when she's just Kate
Here in the mountains all alone
Before the time we called this home
Where is my angel fallen
Down at the river bottom
And will she get away?
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Is she just playing possum
Who lives another day?
Here in the valley that we all know
A river bend that's deep and slow
Where every creature drinks their fill
And other creatures take their kill
Now Kate had went to catch a fish
To put inside her favorite dish
A catfish grabbed her by the head
And took her to his house instead
Where is my angel fallen
Down at the river bottom
And will she get away?
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Is she just playing possum
Who lives another day?
Well, they wrestled all the day and night
The morning showed the bloody sight
Kate all dressed in catfish clothes
His whiskers for her catfish robe
Whiskers for her robe
Where is my angel fallen
Down at the river bottom
And is she there to stay?
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Is she just playing possum
Who lives another day?
Now she's known as Catfish Kate
Call me devil, call me friend, but call me Black Jack Hooligan
Nenn mich Teufel, nenn mich Freund, aber nenn mich Black Jack Hooligan
I came all the way from Aberdeen
Ich kam den ganzen Weg aus Aberdeen
To live among the go-betweens
Um unter den Vermittlern zu leben
Let me tell you tell you about Catfish Kate
Lass mich dir von Catfish Kate erzählen
In the time before when she's just Kate
In der Zeit davor, als sie nur Kate war
Here in the mountains all alone
Hier in den Bergen ganz allein
Before the time we called this home
Bevor wir dies unser Zuhause nannten
Where is my angel fallen
Wo ist mein gefallener Engel
Down at the river bottom
Unten am Flussgrund
And will she get away?
Und wird sie entkommen?
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Wo ist meine Blackfoot-Blüte
Is she just playing possum
Spielt sie nur Possum
Who lives another day?
Wer lebt einen weiteren Tag?
Here in the valley that we all know
Hier im Tal, das wir alle kennen
A river bend that's deep and slow
Eine Flussbiegung, die tief und langsam ist
Where every creature drinks their fill
Wo jedes Geschöpf seinen Durst stillt
And other creatures take their kill
Und andere Geschöpfe ihre Beute machen
Now Kate had went to catch a fish
Nun, Kate war losgegangen, um einen Fisch zu fangen
To put inside her favorite dish
Um ihn in ihr Lieblingsgericht zu legen
A catfish grabbed her by the head
Ein Wels packte sie am Kopf
And took her to his house instead
Und nahm sie stattdessen mit zu seinem Haus
Where is my angel fallen
Wo ist mein gefallener Engel
Down at the river bottom
Unten am Flussgrund
And will she get away?
Und wird sie entkommen?
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Wo ist meine Blackfoot-Blüte
Is she just playing possum
Spielt sie nur Possum
Who lives another day?
Wer lebt einen weiteren Tag?
Well, they wrestled all the day and night
Nun, sie rangen den ganzen Tag und die ganze Nacht
The morning showed the bloody sight
Der Morgen zeigte den blutigen Anblick
Kate all dressed in catfish clothes
Kate ganz in Welskleidung
His whiskers for her catfish robe
Seine Schnurrhaare für ihren Welsmantel
Whiskers for her robe
Schnurrhaare für ihren Mantel
Where is my angel fallen
Wo ist mein gefallener Engel
Down at the river bottom
Unten am Flussgrund
And is she there to stay?
Und bleibt sie dort?
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Wo ist meine Blackfoot-Blüte
Is she just playing possum
Spielt sie nur Possum
Who lives another day?
Wer lebt einen weiteren Tag?
