One day I’m gonna swim this lake I swear it
I’m gonna swim it end to end
I’m bound to paddle on upriver
Out by the delta where the fishin’ boats come in
One day I’m gonna catch the biggest catfish
The one that always got away
Dust off your finest china dishes
We’re gonna have him on a plate
One mornin’ ‘fore the sun rise one mornin’ ‘fore the light
One mornin’ ‘fore the mean old rooster has cried
One mornin’ ‘fore the trucks roll blowin’ their horn
We gonna take the whole world on by the storm
Someday I’m gonna make a ton a’ money
I’m gonna tuck it in the bank
So we ain’t ever goin’ hungry
They’ll have to add another safe
One mornin’ ‘fore the sun rise one mornin’ ‘fore the light
One mornin’ ‘fore the mean old rooster has cried
One mornin’ ‘fore the trucks roll blowin’ their horn
We gonna take the whole world on by the storm
Someday I’ll travel to the city
I might hop a trolley car
See them buildings tall as Everest
Disappearing in the stars
One mornin’ ‘fore the sun rise one mornin’ ‘fore the light
One mornin’ ‘fore the mean old rooster has cried
One mornin’ ‘fore the trucks roll blowin’ their horn
We gonna take the whole world on by the storm
We gonna take the whole world on by the storm
