Well, I wish I was a catfish

Swimming in the deep blue sea

All you pretty womens

Fishing after me

Fishing after me

Well, I went down to my baby's house

And I sat down on the steps

She said, "Come on in and have me

My old man just left, just now left"

Well, there's two trains a runnin'

And there's not one, goin' my way

One runs at midnight

Other just for day

Other just for day

Other just for day

Other just for day

Other just for day

Hey

Well, she's long

And she's so tall

Well, she shakes

Like a willow tree

They say she's no good

She's alright with me

Right with me

Right with me

Right with me

Right with me

Well I wish I was a catfish

Swimming in the deep blue sea

All you pretty women

Swimmin' after me

Swimmin' after me

I wish I was your catfish
