Louisiana Man |
| At first Mom and Papa called the little boy Ned |
| raised him on the banks of the riverbed |
| A houseboat tied to a big tall tree |
| a home for my Papa and my Mama and me |
| The clock strikes three Papa jumps to his feet |
| Already Mama’s cooking Papa something to eat |
| At half past Papa he’s a-ready to go |
| He jumps in his bireau heading down the bayou |
| He’s got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana River |
| gotta catch a big fish for us to eat |
| He sets his traps in a swamp catching anything he can |
| Gotta make a living he’s a Louisiana Man |
| Gotta make a living he’s a Louisiana Man |
| Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen |
| Even got a lady makes muskrat’s cousin |
| All the hides drying in the hot hot sun |
| Tomorrow Papa’s gonna turn them into mon |
| Well they call Mama Rita and my Daddy is Jack |
| little baby brother on the floor is Matt |
| Green and Lynn are the family twins |
| Big brother Ed’s on the bayou fishing |
| On the river floats Papa’s great big boat |
| that’s how my Papa go |
