Catfish

LYRICS

I went fishin'
in the early mornin' light.
Put my line in the water
and everything seemed right.
But a catfish was jumpin'
and laughin' at me.

He said: "There's no way
in this world;
no way you'll ever catch me,
'cause I will just swim away.
And there's no way
you'll ever catch me.

And I said: "Catfish,
take that hook.
Don't you wanna be cooked today?"
And I said: "Catfish,
take that hook.
Don't you wann be cooked today?"

He said: "There's no way
in this world;
no way you'll ever catch me,
'cause I will just swim away.
And there's no way
you'll ever catch me."

If I were a catfish
bottom of the river
wouldn't have to worry,
if it were night or day;
night or day.
If I were a catfish
bottom of the river
wouldn't have to worry,
if it were night or day;
night or day.

There'd be no way
in this world;
no way you'd ever catch me,
'cause I would just swim away
and there's no way
you'd ever catch me.

LEAD BREAK

If I were a catfish,
bottom of the river,
think, just maybe,
I'd make a good fillet.
If I were a catfish,
bottom of the river,
think, just maybe,
I'd make a good fillet.

But there'd be no way
in this world;
no way you'd ever catch me,
'cause I would just swim away,
and there's no way you'd ever catch me.

If you have enjoyed listening to this music, please visit the Robin's Lockmith Services website. We had a Google Business Listing for many years. It went down on February 14, 2024. It looks like it will be impossible for me to recover the business listing. However, the Robin's Lockmith Services website is visible; sometimes above the business listing and sometimes right below it. Each time someone visits that website from anywhere in the world, search engines notice and it becomes more visible to people who are looking for a locksmith in Roswell, New Mexico. That helps us stay in business. Thank you.
