The Crawdad Song lyrics

chorus:

You get a line, I'll get a pole, honey

You get a line, I'll get a pole, babe

You get a line, I'll get a pole

We'll go down to the crawdad hole

Honey, baby, mine

Hurry up, babe, you slept too late, honey

Hurry up, babe, you slept too late, babe

Hurry up, baby, you slept too late

The crawdad man went past your gate

Honey, baby, mine

(chorus)

Yonder come a man with a sack on his back, honey

Yonder come a man with a sack on his back, babe

Yonder come a man with a sack on his back

He’s totin’ all the crawdads he can pack

Honey, baby, mine

(chorus)

Whatcha gonna do when the lake runs dry, honey

Whatcha gonna do when the lake runs dry, babe

Whatcha gonna do when the lake runs dry

Sit on the bank, watch the crawdads die

Honey, baby, mine

(chorus)

What did the hen duck say to the drake, honey

What did the hen duck say to the drake, babe

What did the hen duck say to the drake

Ain't no crawdads in that lake

Honey, baby, mine

(chorus)
