The Crawdad Song Songtext

von Sam Hinton

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 fishing at the crawdad hole, honey, baby mine.
Wake up, Sue, you slept too late, honey.
Wake up, Sue, you slept too late, babe.
Wake up, Sue, you slept too late,
The Crawdad Man done passed your gate,
Honey, Baby Mine.
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back, honey.
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back, babe.
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back,
Got all the crawdads he can pack
Honey, Baby Mine.
The fellow fell down and bust his sack, honey.
The fellow fell down and bust his sack, babe.
The fellow fell down and bust his sack.
Hey look at that crawdad back and back
Honey, Baby Mine.
Hey, look at that crawdad crawling around, honey.
Hey, look at that crawdad crawling around, Babe.
Hey, look at that crawdad crawling around,
He's the mayor of Crawdad Town.
Honey, Baby Mine.
Crawdad's sittin' on a riverbank, Honey
Crawdad's sittin' on a riverbank, Babe
Crawdad's sittin' on a riverbank,
Pickin' his teeth with a 2 x 4 plank
Honey, Baby Mine.
Yonder come a crawdad cross my field, honey.
Yonder come a crawdad cross my field, babe.
Yonder come a crawdad cross my field,
Kickin' up dust like an automobile
Honey, Baby Mine.
The duck she say to the drake, Honey
The duck she say to the drake, Babe
The duck she say to the drake,
"Ain't no crawdads in this lake,"
Honey, Baby Mine.
I'll sell my crawdads three for a dime, honey
I'll sell my crawdads three for a dime, babe
I'll sell my crawdads three for a dime,
Your crawdads' not as good as mine
Honey, Baby Mine.
