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
