I Got A Hole In My Pirogue

(альбом: Honky-Tonk Man - 1962)

Well, I went out a fishing to make a little mon
To take to Cajulina so we could have some fun
On the way back, I knocked a hole in my bow
I got a hole in my pirogue, I can't go see my gal

The purtiest sight that you ever have seen
Is a moonlight night down in New Orleans
I'm up the river, just around the bend
I got a hole in my pirogue, I just can't hold it in

Well, Catelina's waiting with tears in her eyes
Munching and a crunching on a crawfish pie
I smell a feeling floating through the air
I got a hole in my pirogue, I can't go see my Cher

The purtiest sight that you ever have seen
Is a moonlight night down in New Orleans
I'm up the river on around the bend
I got a hole in my pirogue, I just can't hold it in

Yeah I'm here on the bayou, sitting all alone
With a busted bottom and I can't pole it home
Cajulina's waiting lonesome as can be
I got a hole in my pirogue, I can't go see my she

The purtiest sight that you ever have seen
Is a moonlight night down in New Orleans
I'm up the river on around the bend
I got a hole in my pirogue, I just can't hold it in
