CAPO on the 3rd
RE
Old catfish in the lake
We called him Big Jim
When I was a kid
SOL RE LA
my only wish was to get my line in him
SOL RE
Skipped church one Sunday
SOL RE
Went out and threw out my line
SOL RE SOL RE LA
Jim took that hook pullin me right over the side
SOL RE SOL RE
Went driftin down past old tires and rusted cans of beer
SOL RE SOL RE LA
The angel of the lake whispered in my ear
SOL RE
Son before you choose your wish
SOL RE
You better think first
SOL RE REm
Cause with every wish
SOL LA RE
There comes a curse
RE
I fell in love
With beautiful Noreen
SOL RE LA
She was the prettiest thing this old town had ever seen
SOL RE
But I grew jealous whenever another man
SOL RE
Come walkin' down that line
SOL RE LA
My jealousy made me treat her mean and cruel
SOL RE
She'd sigh "Bobby o Bobby,
SOL RE
"You're such a fool
SOL RE REm
"Don't you know before you choose your wish
SOL RE
"You better think first
SOL RE REm
"With every wish
SOL LA RE
"There comes a curse"
RE
These days a I sit around
And laugh at the many rivers I cross
SOL RE
But on the far banks
SOL RE
There's always another forest
SOL LA RE
Where I man can get lost
SOL RE
Tonight someone's waitin' with a gleam in her eye
SOL RE
Though my heart's grown weary
SOL LA RE
And more than a little bit shy
SOL RE
Tonight I'll drink from her waters and quench my thirst
Leave you angels to worry
SOL RE
With every wish
