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"
