Verse 1
E
Ol' catfish in the lake,
B
E
we called him Big Jim
When I was a kid,
A
B
my only wish was to get my line in him
A
E
Skipped church one Sunday rowed
A
E
out and throw'd in my line
A
Jim took that hook pole and
E
A
B
me right over the side
A
Went driftin' down past old
E
A
E
tires and rusty cans of beer
A
E
The angel of the lake
A
B
whispered in my ear
A
E
"Before you chose your wish son
A
E
You better think first
A

B
E
With every wish there comes a curse"
Verse 2
E
I fell in love with beautiful Doreen
She was the prettiest thing this
A
B
old town'd ever seen
A
E
A
E
I courted her and I made her mine
But I grew jealous whenever
E
A
B
Come walkin' down the line
A
E
And my jealousy made me treat
A
E
her mean and cruel
A
E
She sighed, "Bobby oh Bobby
A
B
you're such a fool
Don't you know before
A
C#m
you choose your wish
A
E
You'd better think first
A
C#m
B
'Cause with every wish there comes a
E
curse"

Verse 3
E
These days I sit around and laugh
At the many rivers I've crossed
But on the far banks there's
always another forest
A
B
Where a man can get lost
A
Well there in the high trees
A
Guiding us 'cross to another
E
A
B
river on the other side
A
E
And there someone is waitin'
A
E
with a look in her eyes
A
E
And though my heart's grown weary
A
B
And more than a little bit shy
A
E
Tonight I'll drink from her waters
A
E
to quench my thirst
And leave the angels to worry
