One Morning

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
