Louisiana Man

(앨범: D.E. 7th - 1982)

I heard Mom n Poppa tellin little boy Ned
Raised him on the banks by the riverbed
Houseboat tied to a tall tall tree
Home for Momma and Poppa and me

Clock strikes three Poppa jumps to his feet
Already Momma cooking Poppa something to eat
Half-past five he's ready to go
Jumps in his hero headed down the bayou

Got fishing lines hangin on the Louisiana river
Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat
Sets traps in the swamp, catching anything he can
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man

Muskrat hides hanging by the dozen
Even got a little baby muskrat cousin
Got 'em out drying in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow Poppa's gonna turn 'em into money

Got fishing lines running on the Louisiana river
Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat
Setting traps in the swamp, catching everything they can
Gonna make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gonna make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gonna make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gonna make a living, he's a Louisiana man

Muskrat hides hanging by the dozen
Even got a little baby muskrat cousin
Got 'em out drying in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow Poppa's gonna turn 'em into money

Got fishing lines hanging on the Louisiana river
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
Sets traps in the swamp, catching everything they can
Gonna make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gonna make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gonna make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gonna make a living, he's a Lou isi ana man
