Fishin' On The Mississippi Lyrics - Buck Owens

Well I'm fishin' in the middle of the Mississippi river 

And the water's too muddy to drink 

Big catfish bitin' on the little pole and my baby's waitin' on the bank 

Well you tried to make a livin' on the Mississippi river it's a mighty hard life to live 

But I'm gonna build a house for my pretty little baby 

And I'm gonna build it on the hill 

Well maybe if I'm lucky I'll catch a catfish and I'll sell 'em for a dollar bill 

Then I'm gonna buy another board and a pocketful of nails 

For my little house on the hill 

Well I'm fishin' in the middle

My pappy told me there's sure gonna be a lotta hard times a comin' around 

But I'd rather go a fishin' on the Mississippi river than livin' in a cold cold ground 

Well I can't make whiskey like all the others oh my baby would set me free 

I have to go runnin' down Mississippi river when the law come callin' on me 

Well I'm fishin' in the middle 

Well I'm fishin' in the middle
