Pray For The Fish Songtext / Lyric

Everybody gathered where the river runs wider
at the edge of town.
To see if that Eddie LeVon baptism,
was really gonna go down.
Folks bet hard earned money that water wouldn't change a thing.
They set the odds at 100 to 1 his soul would never come clean.
Then the preacher said people take a moment or two,
there's something we need to do.
Chorus

Pray for the fish!
They won't know what's coming.
When the sins start rolling 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.
Pray for the fish.

Well the preacher ducked him under that cool clear water,
then he did it again.
Eddie came up yellin',
Lord in heaven, hallelujah!
I'm a brand new man!
Well the water got to bubblin',
sky got to rumblin'.
The thunder backed up the chior.
The fish started jumpin'
it was like they were swimmin',
in a lake of fire.
The Eddie's momma stepped outta the crowd.
And started yellin' out loud:

Chorus

He said everybody cross your fingers,
fold your hands.
Pray for ol' Eddie,
but before we say Amen.
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.
Pray for the fish.

Lord, pray for the fish.
