Catfish Bates

歌詞

They call me Catfish Bates 'Cause I can catch a catfish anytime I want to Even when the moon man tells me they won't bite They call me Catfish Bates 'Cause I know where that big ole flathead's a hiddin'. I'm a gonna take him home with me tonight I am the king of Looseyhatchie My home is on the river And them catfish they all know me by my sigh I keep my nose on the westwind My eye on the water And my mind on my business all the time Well I get me a plug a days worth of tobacco And a can a big ole redworms I go down to where the rivers runnin' strong I throw my hook out on the water I let it float on down the channel And I'll have me a big ole flathead 'for too long They call me Catfish Bates 'Cause I can catch a catfish anytime I want to Even when the moon man tells me they won't bite They call me Catfish Bates 'Cause I know where that big ole flathead's a hiddin'. I'm a gonna take him home with me tonight Oh when they bury me I want to be somewhere on the river With a big ole flathead layin' on my stone And them catfish will all be prayin They'll be flatheads up in heaven So my ghost will leave them Hatchie cats alone They call me Catfish Bates 'Cause I can catch a catfish anytime I want to Even when the moon man tells me they won't bite They call me Catfish Bates 'Cause I know where that big ole flathead's a hiddin'. And I'm a gonna take him home with me I'm a gonna take him home with me I'm a gonna take him home with me tonight...
