BrewBaker - The River (Ballad of the Catfish Man) Lyrics

Well I
Knew a man named Catfish who lived at The River
He and Uncle Buddy told us what it meant to come of age
Taught us that to live a life along That River side
One had to learn and respect the ways
Oh of That River oh oh oh
Where he lived
Oh at That River
The one his life he would give
Well I
Knew a man named Catfish who lived by The River
He and Uncle Eddie taught us to drink like men
To take that pin knife to the edge of a can of Milwaukees' Best
Pop the top back and Then just shotgun down the rest
Oh at That River oh oh oh
Where they lived
Oh at That River
The one his life he would give
Well I
Knew a man named Catfish who lived at The River
He and Tom taught us how to be Alive
How to bait the hook and live off The River side
How he endured true Freedom all his life
Along That River oh oh oh
Where he lived
Oh at That River
The one his life he would give
