Goldfish - Joe Purdy

I’m leaving this morning

I’ll call when I can

I’m going fishing on the Rio Grand

Tell’em all I love’em

I don’t care what they say

Cuz I’m gonna catch me a goldfish today

And I’m gonna catch me some quiet today

I went by the circus but the doors were all closed

And the kids were all screaming wanna see the big show

And the clown he’d grown tired and his clothes were worm thin

He said I don’t care if I ever see this big top again

He says I don’t mind if I never see the big top again

I went by the church and I saw the white veil

And I remember the letter that you sent in the mail

And I wish you the best with your new fancy life

With your shiny black car and rich man by your side

With your shiny black car and rich man by your side

I’m leaving this morning

I’ll call when I can

I’m going fishing on the Rio Grand

Tell’em all I love’em

I don’t care what they say

Cuz I’m gonna catch me a goldfish today

I’m gonna catch me a goldfish today

I packed all my things, and it didn’t take long

I remember what you looked like when you were young

And I wanted to see you, but I knew it was wrong

So I stayed up all night drinking and singing another song (??)

So I stayed up all night drinking and singing your songs (??)

I’m leaving this morning

I’ll call when I can

I’m going fishing on the Rio Grand

Tell’em all I love’em

I don’t care what they say

Cuz I’m gonna catch me a goldfish today

I’m gonna catch me a goldfish today

Yeah, I’m gonna catch me some quiet today
