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

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', he's gonna be, gonna be a rolling stone
He's gonna be a rolling stone, he's gonna be a rolling
Oh well"
