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 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 a muskrat cousin |
| All the hides drying in the hot hot sun |
| Tomorrow Papa’s gonna turn them into mon |
| 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 goes into town |
| Takes every bit of the night and day |
| To even reach the place where the people stay |
| I can hardly wait 'till tomorrow comes around |
| That’s the day my Papa takes his furs to town |
| Papa promised me that I could go |
| He’d even let me see a cowboy show |
| I’d seen the cowboys and Indians for the first time then |
| Told my Papa gotta go again |
| Papa said «Son we got a life to run |
| We’d come back again 'cos there’s work to be done» |
| He’s got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana River |
| Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat |
| He sets his traps catching anything he can |
| Gotta make a living he’s a Louisiana Man |
| Gotta make a living he’s a Louisiana Man |
