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
We'll go down to the crawdad hole
Honey, oh Baby mine
Well get up now, you slept too late, Honey
Get up now, you slept too late, Babe
Get up now, you slept too late
The crawdad man done passed your gate
Honey, oh Baby mine
What ya gonna do when the lake runs dry, Honey
What ya gonna do when the lake runs dry, Babe
What ya gonna do when the lake runs dry
Sit on the bank, watch the crawdads die
Honey, oh Baby mine
Well, I heard a duck say to a drake, Honey
I heard a duck say to a drake, Babe
I heard a duck say to a drake
There ain’t no crawdads in this lake
Honey, oh Baby mine
Well, 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
Got all the crawdads he can pack
Honey, oh Baby mine
Well the man fell down and he 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, oh Baby mine
Well I sell crawdads three for a dime, Honey
I sell crawdads three for a dime, Babe
I sell crawdads three for a dime
And your crawdads ain’t as good as mine
Honey, oh Baby mine
Now 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 the crawdad hole
Honey, oh Baby mine
