Louisiana Man |
| At first Mom and Poppa called the little girl a lady |
| They raised her on the banks of a river bed |
| A house boat tied to a big tall tree |
| A home for my poppa and my momma and me |
| The clock strikes three Poppa jumps to his fee |
| Already Moma’s cookin' Poppa somethin' to eat |
| At half past Poppa he’s a ready to go, he jumps in |
| His pirogue headed down the bayou |
| He’s got fishin' line strung across the 'Lousiana River |
| Got to catch a big fish for us to eat |
| He’s settin' his traps catchin' anything he can |
| Gotta make a livin' he’s a 'Lousiana man, gotta make |
| A livin' he’s a 'Lousiana man |
| Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen, even got a little bitty |
| Muskrat cousin |
| Got 'em out dryin' in the hot hot sun, tomorrow Poppa’s |
| Gone turn em into money |
| They call Moma Rita and my Daddy Jack, my little baby |
| Brother on the floor that’s Mac, Rhett and Lynn are the |
| Family twins, big brother Eddie’s on the bayou fishin' |
| On the river floats Poppa’s great big boat |
| That’s how me and Poppa get in to town |
| It takes every bit of a night and day to even reach |
| A place where the people stay |
| Oh I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around |
| That’s the day my Poppa takes the furs to town |
| Poppa done promised me that I could go |
| He’d even let me see a cowboy show |
| I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then |
| I told my Poppa «gotta go again» but Poppa says"Hon |
| We got lines to run, we'll have to come again, cause theres |
| Work to be done" |
| He’s got fishin' line strung across the 'Lousiana River |
| Got a catch a big fish for us to eat |
| He’s settin' his traps catchin' anything he can |
| Gotta make a livin' he’s a' Lousiana man |
| Gotta make a livin' he’s a' Lousiana man-an |
| Poppa done promised me that I could go |
| He’d even let me see the cowboy show |
| I saw the cowboys and indians for the first time then |
| I told my Poppa «Gotta go again» but Poppa said «Hon |
| We got lines to run, we'll have to come again cause theres |
| Work to be done |
| He’s got fishin' line strung across the 'Lousiana River |
| Got to catch a big fish for us to eat |
| He’s settin' his traps catchin' anything he can |
| Gotta make a livin' he’s a 'Lousiana man, gotta make |
| A livin' he’s a 'Lousiana man |
