Well, I feel like a catfish swimming deep [Am] down in the sea.
I have no more water to cross my little girl.
She's looking out.
She's [Am] looking out.
She's looking out.
She's looking out.
[A]
Well, I'm broke.
Baby, I'm hungry.
And [Am] I'm ragged and dirty [A] too.
Now, if I clean up, little woman, can I stay all night?
Stay all night.
[Am] Stay all night.
Stay all night.
[A]
Well, I went to my baby's house.
And I sat down on her step.
She said, [Am] come on in, I'll fill you up.
You know my heart [A] can just not let go.
You know my heart can just not let go.
You know [Am] my heart can just not let go.

Well, just let me be your [C] little [A] dog.
Baby, tell your big dog come.
Now, when your big dog come, I want you to tell him,
[D] [A]
won't you little dog, won't you little dog,
won't you [Am] little dog, won't you [D] little dog.

Well, I [Am] know you [A] don't love me.
Baby, why don't you [Am] tell me so?
[A]
Well, I want you, baby, [Am]
around your [A] house,
around [Am] your house, around your house, around there.
