petway recorded the song "catfish blues" in 1941. among many other musicians who played variations of the song, muddy waters used the arrangement and lyrics of "catfish blues" for his song "rollin' stone" (the song from which the rolling stones took their name). the composition credit given to petway is based entirely on the recording date of his version of the song, but it cannot establish that his version was the original and the source of later versions. there is speculation that tommy mcclennan wrote the song, as he himself recorded it as "deep blues sea". david "honeyboy" edwards (a follower of petway's), asked if petway wrote the song, replied, "he just made that song up and used to play it at them old country dances. he just made it up and kept it in his head." in his autobiography, edwards also remembered the delta blues guitarist tom toy, from leland, mississippi, who apparently was well known locally for his version of "catfish blues". toy never recorded.
