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
