[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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"
