I Got A Hole In My Pirogue lyrics

Well I went out a fishin' to make a little mon

To take to Cajulina so we could have some fun

On the way back, I knocked a hole in my bow

I got a hole in my pirogue, I can't go see my gal

[Chorus]

The purtiest sight that you ever have seen

Is a moonlight night down in New Orleans

I'm up the river, just around the bend

I got a hole in my pirogue, I just cain't hold it in

Well Catelina's waitin' with tears in her eyes

Munchin' and a crunchin' on a crawfish pie

I smell a feeling floatin' through the air

I got a hole in my pirogue, I can't go see my Cher

[Chorus]

Yeah I'm here on the bayou, sittin' all alone

With a busted bottom and I cain't pole it home

Cajulina's waitin' lonesome as can be

I got a hole in my pirogue, I cain't go see my she

[Chorus]
