Louisiana Man - Doug Kershaw[00:00:01]
Well, at birth mom and papa called their little boy Ned[00:00:10]
Raised him on the banks of a river bed[00:00:14]
On a houseboat tied to a big tall tree[00:00:18]
A home for my papa and my mama and me[00:00:22]
The clock strikes three and papa jumps to his feet[00:00:26]
Already mama's cooking papa something to eat[00:00:29]
At half past, papa he's ready to go[00:00:33]
He jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou[00:00:37]
He's got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana Rivers[00:00:41]
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat[00:00:45]
He's setting traps in the swamp catching anything he can[00:00:49]
He's gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man[00:00:53]
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man[00:00:57]
My Muskrat hides hanging by the dozens[00:01:01]
Even got a lady mink, a muskrat's cousin[00:01:05]
Got 'em out drying in the hot, hot sun[00:01:09]
Tomorrow papa's gonna turn 'em into money[00:01:13]
Well, they call mama Rita and my daddy Jack[00:01:32]
Little baby brother on the floor that's Mack[00:01:36]
Bren and Lin are the family twins[00:01:40]
And big brother Ed's on the bayou fishing[00:01:44]
On the river floats papa's great big boat[00:01:48]
And that's how my papa goes into town[00:01:51]
Takes him every bit of a night and a day[00:01:56]
To even reach a place where the people stay[00:02:00]
And I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around[00:02:03]
That's the day my papa takes his furs to town[00:02:07]
Papa promised me that I could go[00:02:11]
He'd even let me see a cowboy show[00:02:15]
I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then[00:02:19]
I told my pop I've gotta go again[00:02:23]
Well, Papa said, "Son we've got lines to run[00:02:27]
We'll come back again but first there's work to be done"[00:02:31]
He's got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana Rivers[00:02:35]
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat[00:02:39]
He's setting traps in the swamp catching anything he can[00:02:42]
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man[00:02:47]
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man[00:02:51]
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man[00:02:55]
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man[00:02:59]
