Well I wish I was a catfish
Swimmin' in a deep blue sea
I would have all you good lookin' women
Just fishin' after me
Just fishin' after me
Just fishin' after me

Well, I went to my baby's house
And I sit down on her steps
She said, "You can come on in now, honey
My husband just now left
My husband just now left
My husband just now left"

Well, my mother told my father
Just before I was born, she said:
"I got a boy child's comin', he's gonna be
He's gonna be a "Rollin' Stone
Gonna be a "Rollin' Stone
Gonna be a "Rollin' Stone"

Oh well, I feel, oh yes I feel
That my low down, time ain't long
I'm gonna take the first thing smokin' and set
Back down the road I'm goin'
Back down the road I'm goin'
Back down the road I'm goin'
Oh well, I wish I was a catfish
Swimmin' in a deep blue sea
I would have all you good lookin' women
Just fishin' after me
Just fishin' after me
Just fishin' after me
Oh yeah!
