First Momma Poppa call a little boy Ned |
|
Raise him on the banks of the riverbed |
|
In a houseboat tied to a big tall tree |
|
Home for my Momma and my Poppa and me. |
|
Half-past three Poppa jumps to his feet |
|
Already Momma cooking Poppa somethin' to eat |
|
Half-past five Poppa's ready to go |
|
Jumps in his hero headed down the bayou. |
|
Got fishin' lines running cross the Louisiana river |
|
Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat |
|
Settin' traps in the swamp, catchin' everything they can |
|
Gonna make a livin', he's a Louisiana man |
|
Gonna make a livin', he's a Louisiana man. |
|
Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen |
|
Even got a little baby muskrat cousin |
|
Got 'em out dryin' in the hot, hot sun |
|
Tomorrow Poppa's gonna turn 'em into money. |
