Louisiana Man - Bobbie Gentry (芭比·珍翠)[00:00:00]
Written by:Doug Kershaw[00:00:00]
At first mom and poppa called the little girl a lady[00:00:07]
They raised her on the banks of a river bed[00:00:10]
A house boat tied to a big tall tree[00:00:16]
A home for my poppa and my momma and me[00:00:19]
The clock strikes three poppa jumps to his fee[00:00:23]
Already moma's cookin' poppa somethin' to eat[00:00:26]
At half past poppa he's a ready to go[00:00:29]
He jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou[00:00:32]
He's got fishin' line strung across the 'Louisiana river[00:00:35]
Got to catch a big fish for us to eat[00:00:39]
He's settin' his traps catchin' anything he can[00:00:42]
Gotta make a livin' he's a 'Louisiana man[00:00:45]
Gotta make a livin' he's a 'Louisiana man[00:00:49]
Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen[00:00:52]
Even got a little bitty muskrat cousin[00:00:55]
Got 'em out dryin' in the hot hot sun[00:00:58]
Tomorrow poppa's gone turn em into money[00:01:02]
They call moma rita and my daddy jack[00:01:12]
My little baby brother on the floor that's mac[00:01:15]
Rhett and lying are the family twins[00:01:18]
Big brother eddie's on the bayou fishin'[00:01:21]
On the river floats poppa's great big boat[00:01:25]
That's how me and poppa get in to town[00:01:28]
It takes every bit of a night and day to even reach[00:01:31]
A place where the people stay[00:01:35]
Oh I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around[00:01:38]
That's the day my poppa takes the furs to town[00:01:41]
Poppa done promised me that I could go[00:01:44]
He'd even let me see a cowboy show[00:01:47]
I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then[00:01:54]
I told my poppa gotta go again but poppa says hon[00:01:57]
We got lines to run we'll have to come again[00:02:02]
Cause theres work to be done[00:02:05]
He's got fishin' line strung across the 'Louisiana river[00:02:13]
Got a catch a big fish for us to eat[00:02:17]
He's settin' his traps catchin' anything he can[00:02:20]
Gotta make a livin' he's a' Louisiana man[00:02:24]
Gotta make a livin' he's a' Louisiana man an[00:02:27]
