Lyrics

CRAWDAD SONG

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, and we?ll all go down to the crawdad hole,
Honey, sweet baby of mine.


Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, honey.
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, babe.
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, packing all the crawdads he can pack
Honey, sweet baby of mine.

Solos verse

The man fell down and broke that sack, honey.
The man fell down and he broke that sack, babe.
The man fell down and he broke that sack, see those crawdads backing back.
Honey, sweet baby of mine.

Get up Sue, you slept too late, honey
Get up Sue, you slept too late, babe.
Get up sue, you slept too late, the crawdad man?s done passed your gate.
Honey, sweet baby of mine.

Solos verse

Look at that crawdad crawling round, honey.
Look at that crawdad crawling round, babe.
Look at that crawdad crawling round, he?s the mayor of crawdad town.

What you gonna do when the lake goes dry, honey.
What you gonna do when the lake runs dry, babe.
What you gonna do when the lake runs dry, gonna sit on the bank and watch the crawdads die.
Honey, sweet baby of mine.

Solos verse

What you gonna do when the crawdads die, honey.
What you gonna do when the crawdads die, babe.
What you gonna do when the crawdads die, gonna sit on the bank until I cry.
Honey, sweet baby of mine.


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, and we?ll all go down to the crawdad hole,
Honey, sweet baby of mine.
