[Verse 1]
Well, I wish I was a catfish
Swimming in a, oh, deep blue sea
I would have all you good looking women
Fishing, fishing after me
Sure enough, after me
Sure enough, after me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, sho 'nuff

[Verse 2]
I went to my baby's house
And I sit down, oh, on her steps
She said, "Come on in now, Muddy
You know my husband just done left"
Sure enough, he just done left
Sure enough, he just done left
Oh Lord, oh well, oh well

[Verse 3]
Well, my mother told my father
Just before, hmmm, I was born
"I got a boy child's comin', gonna be
He's gonna be a rolling stone"
Sho 'nuff, he's a rolling stone
Sho 'nuff, he's a rolling stone
Oh well he's a, oh well he's a, oh well he's a
[Guitar solo]

[Verse 4]
Well, I feel, yes I feel
Baby like the lowdown, oh, time ain't long
I'ma catch the first thing smoking back
Back down the road, I'm going
Back down the road, I'm going
Back down the road, I'm going
Sho 'nuff there, sho 'nuff there
