Indigo Lake
Way down south in south Alabama near the Alabama-Florida line
Thereโs a little bitty piece of culinary heaven but itโs damn near impossible to find
You take several left turns down several dirt roads and the last left turn you make
Brings you right down to this restaurant by the name of Indigo Lake
Well the restaurant, as you might imagine, sits right by the side of the lake
And itโs whatโs in the water that makes worth while the laborious drive you gotta take
They got two things only on the Indigo menu, you can order up whichever you wish
Oneโs deep-fat fried and oneโs flame-broiled and theyโre both pronounced "catfish"
Hush, hush, hush little puppy in the cole, coleslaw
That waitress coming with the baskets, well thatโs the prettiest sight I ever saw
And there never ever was a tastier dish than that fish, that fat fish, that cat fish
From Indigo lake
Now the cook they got is a catfish wizard and his reputationโs grown so great
That itโs every little catfishโs big ambition to be served on an Indigo plate
All the big fat daddies and big pudgy mammas want a shot at the Indigo hook
And all the cute little tasty teenage kitty fish got a big crush on the cook
Well you drive back home in the Alabama dark and youโre feeling like lifeโs worth living
And your heartโs filled up with gratitude for the fish and the lives theyโre giving
Catfish sacrificing their dog-eat-dog existence and they do it for the sake
Of bringing you a little bit of catfish soul โ down at Indigo Lake
Hush, hush little puppy in the cole, coleslaw . . .
