| At first mom and papa called their little boy Ned,
|
| They raised him on the banks of the river bed.
|
| A houseboat tied to a big tall tree,
|
| A home for my mama and my papa and me.
|
| Well, the clock strikes three, papa jumps to his feet,
|
| Already mama’s cookin' papa somethin' to eat.
|
| At a half past, papa, he’s ready to go,
|
| He hops in his piro, headed down the bayou.
|
| They got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River,
|
| Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat.
|
| Settin' traps in the swamp catchin' everythin' he can,
|
| Tryin' to make a livin' he’s a Louisiana man,
|
| Tryin' to make a livin' he’s a Louisiana man.
|
| Muskrat hides a hangin' by the dozen,
|
| Even got a lady make a muskart’s cousin.
|
| Got a mountain dryin' in the hot, hot sun,
|
| Tomorrow papa’s gonna turn them into mon.
|
| Well, they call mama Rita and my daddy’s Jack,
|
| A little baby brother on the floor, that’s Mac.
|
| Red and Lynn are the family twins,
|
| Big brother Ed on the bayou fishin'.
|
| On the river floats papa’s great big boat,
|
| That’s how my papa goes into town.
|
| Takes every bit of the night and the day
|
| To even reach the place where the people stay.
|
| I can hardly wait untill tomorrow comes around,
|
| That’s the day my papa takes his furs to town.
|
| Papa promised me that I could go,
|
| Even let me see a cowboy show.
|
| I seen the cowboys and Indians for the first time then,
|
| I told my papa, gotta come again.
|
| Papa said, son we got the lines to run,
|
| We’ll come back again when the work is all done.
|
| They got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River,
|
| Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat.
|
| Settin' traps in the swamp catchin' everythin' he can,
|
| Tryin' to make a livin' he’s a Louisiana man,
|
| Tryin' to make a livin' he’s a Louisiana man. |
