1
Well, I'm fishin' in the middle of the Mississippi River
2
And the water's too muddy to drink
3
Big catfish bitin' on the little pole
4
And my baby's waitin' on the bank
5
Well, you tried to make a livin' on the Mississippi River
6
It's a mighty hard life to live
7
But I'm gonna build a house for my pretty little baby
8
And I'm gonna build it on the hill.
9
Well, maybe if I'm lucky I'll catch a catfish
10
And I'll sell 'em for a dollar bill
11
Then I'm gonna buy another board and a pocketful of nails
12
For my little house on the hill.
13
Well, I'm fishin' in the middle of the Mississippi River
14
And the water's too muddy to drink
15
Big catfish bitin' on the little pole
16
And my baby's waitin' on the bank
17
--- Instrumental ---
18
My pappy told me there's sure gonna be
19
A lotta hard times a comin' around
20
But I'd rather go a fishin' on the Mississippi River
21
Than livin' in a cold, cold ground.
22
Well, I can't make whiskey like all the others
23
Oh, my baby would set me free
24
I have to go runnin' down Mississippi River
25
When the law come callin' on me.
26
Well, I'm fishin' in the middle of the Mississippi River
27
And the water's too muddy to drink
28
Big catfish bitin' on the little pole
29
And my baby's waitin' on the bank.
30
Well, I'm fishin' in the middle of the Mississippi River
31
And the water's too muddy to drink
32
Big catfish bitin' on the little pole
33
And my baby's waitin' on the bank...
