Paroles de Louisiana Man
At first Mom an' Poppa called the little girl LettyThey raised her on the banks of a river bed
A house boat tied to a big tall tree
A home for my Poppa and my Momma and me
The clock strikes three, Poppa jumps to his feet
Already Momma's cookin' Poppa somethin' to eat
At half past Poppa he's a ready to go
He jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou
He's got fishin' line strung across the 'Lousiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He's settin' his traps catchin' anything he can
He's gotta make a livin' he's a 'Lousiana man
Gotta make a livin' he's a 'Lousiana man
Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen
Even got a little bitty muskrat cousin
Got 'em out dryin' in the hot hot sun
Tomorrow Poppa's gone turn 'em into mon
They call Moma Rita and my Daddy Jack
My little baby brother on the floor, that's Mac
Rhett and Lynn are the family twins
Big brother Eddie's on the bayou fishin'
On the river floats Poppa's great big boat
That's how me and Poppa get in to town
It takes every bit of a night and day
To even reach a place where the people stay
Oh I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around I told my Poppa "gotta go again"
But Poppa says "Hon, we got lines to run
We'll have to come again
'Cause there's work to be done"
He's got fishin' line strung across the 'Lousiana River
Got a catch a big fish for us to eat
He's settin' his traps catchin' anything he can
Gotta make a livin' he's a' Lousiana man
Gotta make a livin' he's a' Lousiana man
He jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou
He's got fishin' line strung across the 'Lousiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He's settin' his traps catchin' anything he can
He's gotta make a livin' he's a 'Lousiana man
Gotta make a livin' he's a 'Lousiana man
Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen
Even got a little bitty muskrat cousin
Got 'em out dryin' in the hot hot sun
Tomorrow Poppa's gone turn 'em into mon
They call Moma Rita and my Daddy Jack
My little baby brother on the floor, that's Mac
Rhett and Lynn are the family twins
Big brother Eddie's on the bayou fishin'
On the river floats Poppa's great big boat
That's how me and Poppa get in to town
It takes every bit of a night and day
To even reach a place where the people stay
Oh I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around I told my Poppa "gotta go again"
But Poppa says "Hon, we got lines to run
We'll have to come again
'Cause there's work to be done"
He's got fishin' line strung across the 'Lousiana River
Got a catch a big fish for us to eat
He's settin' his traps catchin' anything he can
Gotta make a livin' he's a' Lousiana man
Gotta make a livin' he's a' Lousiana man
