Well I wish I was a catfish
Swimmin' in the, Lord, deep blue sea
And I'd have all you pretty womens
Fishin' after me. Fishin' after me
Oh well. Sure enough, yes it is
Well I went to my girlfriend's house
And I sat down, Lord, on her front step
She said, Come on in now Jeffrey
Husband just now left. Just now left
Oh well. Sure enough, yes it is
Oh well. Aww, here it comes, baby
Well there's two, two trains runnin'
But there's 'nary one, Lord, that's goin' my way
One train leaves at midnight
The other one leaves just for a day
Leaves just for a day
Oh well. Sure enough, yes it is
Oh well. Here it comes again, baby
