Pray For The Fish

Verse 1: Everybody gathered where the river runs wider at the edge of town To see if that Eddy Lee Vaughn baptism was really gonna go down Folks bet hard-earned money that water wouldn't change a thing They set the odds at a hundred to one, his soul would never come clean Then the preacher said people take a moment or two There's something we need to do (nothing) Pray for the fish, they won't know what's comin' when then sins start rollin' off the likes of him Lord be with 'em they ain't done nothin' Please won't you leave 'em just a little bit of room to swim (nothing) Pray for the fish Verse 2: Well the preacher ducked him under that cool clear water, then he did it again Eddy came up yelling, "Oh Lord in Heaven, Hallelujah, I'm a brand new man" Well the water got to bubblin' the sky got to rumblin', and the thunder backed up the choir The fish started jumpin' it was like they were swimmin' in a lake of fire Then Eddy's mamma stepped out of the crowd and started yellin' out loud Chorus; (nothing) Pray for the fish, they won't know what's comin' when the sin starts rollin' off the likes of him Lord be with 'em, they ain't done nothin' Please won't you leave 'em, just a little bit of room to swim (nothing) Pray for the fish Tag: He said everybody cross your fingers and fold your hands Pray for ole Eddy, but before we say Amen, Chorus: Pray for the fish Lord be with 'em they ain't done nothin' Please won't you leave 'em just a little bit of room to swim (nothing) Pray for the fish Lord, Pray for the fish
