The Crawdad Song Songtext
von Doc Watson

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 fishin' in the crawdad hole,
Honey, Baby mine.

Sittin′ on the bank ′til my feet get cold, Honey,
Sittin' on the bank ′til my feet get cold, Babe,
Sittin' on the bank ′til my feet get cold,
Lookin' down that crawdad hole,
Honey, Baby mine.


Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, Honey,
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, Babe,
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back,
Packin′ all the crawdads he can pack,
Honey, Baby mine.

The man fell down and he broke that sack, Honey,
The man fell down and he broke that sack, Babe,
The man fell down and he broke that sack,
See those crawdads backing back,
Honey, Baby mine.

I heard the duck say to the drake, Honey,
I heard the duck say to the drake, Babe,
I heard the duck say to the drake,
There ain't no crawdads in this lake,
Honey, Baby mine
You get a line, I get a pole, honey
You get a line, I get a pole, babe

You get a line, I get a pole, we'll go down to the crawdad hole, honey
Baby mine
