CATFISH
As recorded by Chris Smither on "Another Way to Find You" (1992)

You know I'm standin' by the water, just starin' at the stream.
Tell me, honey: are there any catfish in your dreams?
Well, catfish ain't expensive, boy, neither is it free.
Child, some folks crazy 'bout 'em, others have to leave it be.

You walk down to the bank so you can flash your bait.
You lookin' for a catfish, child, you ain't got long, you ain't got long to wait.

Boy, catfish got whiskers and a sweet little grin,
But you never can tell where a catfish has been.
Suckers and bullheads never will do.
That ol' catfish will show you a thing or two.

You walk down to the bank so you can flash your bait.
You lookin' for a catfish, child, you ain't got long to wait.

Boy, I'll be your catfish, honey, any ol' time.
You just call out my name an' darlin' drop me your line,
'Cause I'm standin' by the water just starin' at the stream.
Boy, tell me, honey, are there any catfish in your, catfish in your, catfish in your dreams?
