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 go down to the crawdad hole
Honey, baby mine
Get up old man you slept too late,... (x3)
Crawdad man done passed your gate...
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back,... (x3)
Packin' all the crawdads he can pack...
He fell down and he bust that sack,... (x3)
'Twas a sight to see the crawdads back to back...
A-sittin' on the ice till my feet got cold,... (x3)
A-watchin' that crawdad dig his hole...
What you gonna do when the lake goes dry,... (x3)
Sit on the bank and watch the crawdads die...
I heard the duck say to the drake,... (x3)
"There ain't no crawdads in this lake"...
