歌词

[00:12.86] At birth mom and papa called their little boy Ned
[00:16.50] Raised him on the banks of a river bed
[00:20.29] Houseboat tied to a big tall tree
[00:24.08] Home for my papa and my mama and me
[00:27.73] The clock strikes three papa jumps to his feet
[00:31.58] Already mama's cooking papa something to eat
[00:35.27] At half past papa he's ready to go
[00:39.12] Jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou
[00:42.67] He's got fishing lines strung across Louisiana Rivers
[00:46.65] Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
[00:50.30] Setting traps in the swamp catching anything he can
[00:54.15] Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man
[00:58.19] Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man
[01:03.34] Muskrat hides hanging by the dozens
[01:06.81] Even got a lady mink a muskrat's cousin
[01:10.72] Got 'em out drying in the hot hot sun
[01:14.32] Tomorrow papa's gonna turn 'em into money
[01:31.20] They call mama Rita and my daddy Jack
[01:35.00] My little baby brother on the floor that's Mack
[01:38.88] Bren and Lin are the family twins
[01:42.63] Big brother Ed's on the bayou fishing
[01:46.67] On the river floats papa's great big boat
[01:50.07] And that's how my papa goes into town
[01:54.01] Takes him every bit of a night and a day
[01:57.55] To even reach a place where the people stay
[02:01.20] But I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around
[02:05.05] That's the day my papa takes furs to town
[02:08.80] Papa promised me that I could go
[02:12.54] He'd even let me see a big cowboy show
[02:19.22] Cowboys and Indians for the first time then
[02:22.56] I told my papa I've gotta go again
[02:26.42] Papa said "Son we've got lines to run
[02:30.11] We'll come back but now there's work to be done"
[02:36.29] He's got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana Rivers
[02:40.25] Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
[02:43.40] Setting traps in the swamp catching anything he can
[02:47.54] Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man
[02:51.84] Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man
