Well, I wish I was a catfish

Swimming in the deep blue sea

I'd have all you good-looking women

Fishin' after me, fishin' after me

Fishin' after me

Well, well

Well

When I went to my baby's house

And I sat down on her step

She said, "Now come on in now, baby

My husband, he just left

My husband, he just left

My husband, he just left"

Oh well

Well, my mother told my father

Just before I, I was born

She said, "Got a boy child comin', it's gon' be

Gonna be a rolling stone

It's gonna be a rolling stone

It's gonna be a rolling, oh well"
