Catfish Bates - Don Williams
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 hiding
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 west wind
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 red worms
I go down to where the rivers running 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 hiding
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 laying on my stone
And them catfish will all be praying
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 hiding
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
