Lyrics Crawdad Song - Woody Guthrie, Sonny Terry, Cisco Houston

Crawdad Song

You get a line and I’ll get a pole, Honey
You get a line and I’ll get a pole, Babe
You get a line and I’ll get a pole
We’ll go fishin' in the crawdad hole
Honey, Baby mine
Sittin' on the bank 'til my feet get cold, Honey
Sittin' on the bank 'til my feet get cold, Babe
Sittin' on the bank 'til my feet get cold
Lookin' down that crawdad hole
Honey, Baby mine
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, Honey
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, Babe
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back
Packin' all the crawdads he can pack
Honey, Baby mine
The man fell down and he broke that sack, Honey
The man fell down and he broke that sack, Babe
The man fell down and he broke that sack
See those crawdads backing back
Honey, Baby mine
I heard the duck say to the drake, Honey
I heard the duck say to the drake, Babe
I heard the duck say to the drake
There ain’t no crawdads in this lake
Honey, Baby mine
