| Well, I wish I was a catfish | |
| Swimmin' in the deep blue sea | |
| I'd have all you women | |
| Fishin' after me | |
| Fishin' after me | |
| Fishin' after me | |
| Well, I'm broke and I'm hungry | |
| Ragged and I'm dirty too | |
| Well, if I clean up, baby, can I | |
| Stay home with you | |
| Stay home with you | |
| Stay home with you | |
| If I can't, can't come in | |
| Let me sit down front of your door | |
| I'll leave so early, your | |
| Mom won't know | |
| Won't never know | |
| Won't never know | |
| Oh, I know, know my baby | |
| Well, she's going to jump and shout | |
| When my train pulls in and I | |
| I come walkin' out | |
| Come walkin' out | |
| Come walkin' out | |
| Yes, I'm goin', babe, I'm goin' | |
| And your crying won't make me stay | |
| Oh, the more that you cry, baby | |
| More I'll go away | |
| More I'll go away | |
| More I'll go away | |
| Well, now I know, I know you don't want me | |
| Why in the world won't you tell me so? | |
| Then I won't be caught, baby, 'round | |
| Your house no more | |
| Your house no more | |
| Your house no more |
