Catfishin' At Night

Way down south about the first of June
The catfish jump by the light of the moon
And we go fishin, catfishin at night

They lay on the bottom when the sun gets hot
In the cool of the evening they rise to the top
And we go fishin, catfishin at night
Catfishin, til we get us a bite
Catfishin, til we get us a bite

You and I go up around the bend
Down an old dirt road where the highway ends
And we go fishin, catfishin at night

On a big old blanket beneath a tall oak tree
Just a lame excuse to get you next to me
And we go fishin, catfishin at night
Catfishin, til we get us a bite

With your head on my shoulder
About the time that the evening’s through
Might not get me a nibble
But I might get lucky, might get lucky with you

You hook a ten pound cat on a four pound line
He might get loose but baby I don’t mind
When we’re fishin, catfishin at night

And we don’t care what tomorrow brings
In the heat of the moment It’s a Southern thing
To go fishin catfishin at night
Catfishin, til we get us a bite
Catfishin, til we get us a bite

So you grab a line and I’ll grab a pole
And we’ll go down to that catfish hole
And we go fishin, catfishin at night
Catfishin, til we get us a bite
