lyrics

I wish I was a catfish
Swimming in the deep blue sea
I’d have all those pretty ladies
Fishing after me, fishing after me

Then I swam across the river
Just to see my good gal
Then she threw me in the water
She said swim along without me now
Just swim along without me now

I got caught in a net
I couldn’t swim or get away
And then she pulled me from the river
And then she broke my heart that day
Yeah she broke my heart that day

So I swam down to the bottom
Of the deepest darkest hole
Just to weep for those ladies
Who will never catch my soul
Who will never catch my soul

I wish I was a catfish
Swimming in the deep blue sea
I’d have all those pretty ladies
Fishing after me, swimming after me
