[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 their 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
[Pre-Chorus]
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 comin'
When the sin starts 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
[Verse 2]
Well, the preacher ducked him under that cool clear water
Then he did it again
Eddy came up yellin', "Lord in Heaven
Hallelujah, I'm a brand new man"
Well, the water got to bubblin', sky got to rumblin'
And the thunder backed up the choir
The fish started jumpin'
It was like they was swimmin' in a lake of fire
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 their 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
[Pre-Chorus]
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 comin'
When the sin starts 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
[Verse 2]
Well, the preacher ducked him under that cool clear water
Then he did it again
Eddy came up yellin', "Lord in Heaven
Hallelujah, I'm a brand new man"
Well, the water got to bubblin', sky got to rumblin'
And the thunder backed up the choir
The fish started jumpin'
It was like they was swimmin' in a lake of fire
