Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Catfish Blues (David 'Honeyboy' Edwards)
I have listened to Robert Petway's version at YouTube, and I have a couple of corrections/additions to the lyrics from Taft:

I hear line 7 as:
I'm gwine to write, write me a letter baby : I'm gwine to write it just to see

In lines 4 and 8, during the repetitions of the final phrase, he sometimes inserts the word "poor" before "me."
