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

and fold your hands

Pray for ole Eddy, but before we say Amen,

Please won't you leave 'em

just a little bit of room to swim
