Crawdad Song

1
Well you get a line and I’ll get a pole honey
5
You get a line and I’ll get a pole babe
1
You get a line and I’ll get a pole
4
And we’ll go down to the crawdad hole
1 5 1
Honey baby mine
 

Well Sit on the bank ’til my feet get cold honey
Sit on the bank ’til my feet got cold babe
Sit on the bank ’til my feet got cold
Watchin’ them crawdads jump in that hole
Honey baby mine

Yonder come a man with a sack on his back honey
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back babe
Great big sack all on his back
Got more crawdads than he can pack
Honey baby mine

Well he fell down and busted that sack uh huh
That man fell down and he busted that sack babe
He fell down and he busted that sack babe
Just watch them crawdads backing back
Honey baby mine

Well 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 this lake
Honey baby mine
