[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
Oh well, oh well, oh well

[Verse 2]
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', he's gonna be, gonna be a rolling stone
He's gonna be a rolling stone, he's gonna be a rolling
Oh well"
