The Crawdad Song
chorus
You get a line and I’ll get a pole, honey
You get a line and I’ll get a pole, babe
You get a line and I’ll get a pole,
We’ll go down to that crawdad hole,
Honey, oh baby mine.
What did the duck say to the drake?, honey
What did the duck say to the drake?, babe
What did the duck say to the drake?
There ain’t no crawdads in this lake
Honey, oh baby mine.
Yonder stands a man with a pack on his back, honey
Yonder stands a man with a pack on his back, babe
Yonder stands a man with a pack on his back
Got all the crawdads he can pack
Honey, oh baby mine.
Man fell down and broke that pack, honey
Man fell down and broke that pack, babe
Man fell down and broke that pack,
You ought to see them crawdads packing on back
Honey, oh baby mine.
Wake up Johnny you slept too late, honey
Wake up Johnny you slept too late, babe
Wake up now, you slept too late
Crawdad man done passed your gate,
Honey, oh baby mine.
Wake up Suzie you slept too late, honey
Wake up Suzie you slept too late, babe
Wake up now, you slept too late
Last piece of crawdad done left your plate
Honey, oh baby mine.
What you gonna do when the creek runs dry, honey
What you gonna do when the creek runs dry, babe
What you gonna do when the creek runs dry,
Sit on the banks, watch the crawdads die
Honey, oh baby mine.
