Goodnight catfish, I’ve done all I know to do

I’ve thrown everything that I can think of

Made every attempt to catch you

 

I’m slam out of worms and stinkbait

Now push has come to shove

And I just can’t sit here and wait

 

For you to break the water’s surface

I guess you won’t see me waiting above

I know that you’re there, though I ain’t seen your face

 

So I’m headed home now, time to pack it in

I’ve got a whole bag of cornmeal to get rid of

My wife won’t believe where I’ve been
