[ Don Rich ]
2
Well I'm fishin' in the middle of the Mississippi river
3
And the water's too muddy to drink
4
Big catfish bitin' on the little pole and my baby's waitin' on the bank
5
Well you tried to make a livin' on the Mississippi river it's a mighty hard life to live
6
But I'm gonna build a house for my pretty little baby
7
And I'm gonna build it on the hill
8
Well maybe if I'm lucky I'll catch a catfish and I'll sell 'em for a dollar bill
9
Then I'm gonna buy another board and a pocketful of nails
10
For my little house on the hill
11
Well I'm fishin' in the middle...
12
[ fiddle ]
13
My pappy told me there's sure gonna be a lotta hard times a comin' around
14
But I'd rather go a fishin' on the Mississippi river than livin' in a cold cold ground
15
Well I can't make whiskey like all the others oh my baby would set me free
16
I have to go runnin' down Mississippi river when the law come callin' on me
17
Well I'm fishin' in the middle...
18
Well I'm fishin' in the middle...
