Crawdad Hole Songtext
von Doc Watson

Now you get a line and I′ll get a pole, honey
You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe
You get a line and I′ll get a pole
We'll go down to that crawdad hole, honey
Baby mine

Sat on the bank 'til my feet got cold, honey
(Why don′t you go to the house and warm your feet, boy?)
Sat on the bank ′til my feet got cold, babe
Sat on the bank 'til my feet got cold inside
So you can crawl that jump and that hole, oh, honey
Baby mine

You get a line and I′ll get a pole, honey (I'll get a big ol′ long perch and pole)
You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe (put some beeswax on it now)
You get a line and I′ll get a pole
We'll go down to that crawdad hole, honey
Baby mine (let me pick one, Fred)


Now you're gonna become a man with a sack on his back, uh-huh
(What′s he got in that sack, huh?)
You′re gonna become a man with a sack on his back, babe
(That's just about all he can toast)
You′re gonna become a man with a sack on his back and you've got four crawdads he can pack
Oh, honey, baby mine

You get a line and I′ll get a pole, honey
You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe
You get a line and I′ll get a pole
We'll go down to that crawdad hole, honey
Baby mine

Now he fell down and he busted that sack, uh-huh (right to the day's work)
He fell down and he busted that sack, babe (busted the whole business)
He fell down and he busted that sack and he shot, see, he crawled back and back
Oh, honey, baby mine (is a-hittin′ the lamp home)

You get a line and I′ll get a pole, honey
You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe
You get a line, I′ll get a pole
We'll go down to that crawdad hole, honey
Baby mine

Now what did the hemlock say to the drake, honey? (Quack, quack, quack)
What did the hemlock say to the drake, babe? (Come here, you sweet thing)
What did the hemlock say to the drake?
Well, there ain′t no call that's in that lake, oh honey
Baby mine


You get a line and I′ll get a pole, honey
You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe
You get a line and I'll get a pole
We′ll go down to that crawdad hole, honey
Baby, mine
