Louisiana Man |
| First, Mama Papa call a little boy 'Ned' |
| Raise him on the banks of the riverbed |
| In a houseboat tied to a big tall tree |
| Home for my mama and my papa and me |
| Half-past three, Papa jumps to his feet |
| Already Mama cooking Papa somethin' to eat |
| Half-past five, Papa’s ready to go |
| Jumps in his hero, headed down the bayou |
| Got fishin' lines running 'cross the Louisiana River |
| Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat |
| Settin' traps in the swamp, catchin' everything they can |
| Gonna make a livin', he’s a Lousiana man |
| Gonna make a livin', he’s a Lousiana man |
| Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen |
| Even got a little baby muskrat cousin |
| Got 'em out dryin' in the hot, hot sun |
| Tomorrow, Papa’s gonna turn 'em into money |
| I can hardly wait until the mornin' comes around |
| That’s the day my Papa taked the furs to town |
| Last time he told me that I could go |
| Maybe even catch a cowboy show |
| Saw cowboys and Indians for the first time then |
| Told my Papa: Got to come back again |
| Papa said: Son, we got lines to run |
| We’ll come back again; |
| there’s work to be done |
