[ Don Rich ]Well I'm fishin' in the middle of the Mississippi riverAnd the water's too muddy to drinkBig catfish bitin' on the little pole and my baby's waitin' on the bankWell you tried to make a livin' on the Mississippi river it's a mighty hard life to liveBut I'm gonna build a house for my pretty little babyAnd I'm gonna build it on the hillWell maybe if I'm lucky I'll catch a catfish and I'll sell 'em for a dollar billThen I'm gonna buy another board and a pocketful of nailsFor my little house on the hillWell I'm fishin' in the middle...[ fiddle ]My pappy told me there's sure gonna be a lotta hard times a comin' aroundBut I'd rather go a fishin' on the Mississippi river than livin' in a cold cold groundWell I can't make whiskey like all the others oh my baby would set me freeI have to go runnin' down Mississippi river when the law come callin' on meWell I'm fishin' in the middle...Well I'm fishin' in the middle...
