Well[00:02:04]
At birth mom and papa called their little boy Ned[00:02:04]
Raised him on the banks of a river bed[00:02:04]
On a houseboat tied to a big tall tree[00:02:04]
A home for my papa and my mama and me[00:02:04]
The clock strikes three and papa jumps to his feet[00:02:04]
Already mama's cooking papa something to eat[00:02:04]
At half past[00:02:04]
Papa he's ready to go[00:02:04]
He jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou[00:02:04]
He's got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana Rivers[00:02:04]
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat[00:02:04]
He's setting traps in the swamp catching anything he can[00:02:04]
He's gotta make a living[00:02:04]
He's a Louisiana man[00:02:04]
Gotta make a living[00:02:04]
He's a Louisiana man[00:02:04]
My Muskrat hides hanging by the dozens[00:02:04]
Even got a lady mink[00:02:04]
A muskrat's cousin[00:02:04]
Got 'em out drying in the hot[00:02:04]
Hot sun[00:02:04]
Tomorrow papa's gonna turn 'em into money[00:02:04]
Well[00:02:04]
They call mama Rita and my daddy Jack[00:02:04]
Little baby brother on the floor that's Mack[00:02:04]
Bren and Lin are the family twins[00:02:04]
And big brother Ed's on the bayou fishing[00:02:04]
On the river floats papa's great big boat[00:02:04]
And that's how my papa goes into town[00:02:04]
Takes him every bit of a night and a day[00:02:04]
To even reach a place where the people stay[00:02:04]
And I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around[00:02:04]
That's the day my papa takes his furs to town[00:02:04]
Papa promised me that I could go[00:02:04]
He'd even let me see a cowboy show[00:02:04]
I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then[00:02:04]
I told my pop I've gotta go again[00:02:04]
Well[00:02:04]
Papa said[00:02:04]
Son we've got lines to run[00:02:04]
We'll come back again but first there's work to be done[00:02:04]
He's got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana Rivers[00:02:04]
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat[00:02:04]
He's setting traps in the swamp catching anything he can[00:02:04]
Gotta make a living[00:02:04]
He's a Louisiana man[00:02:04]
Gotta make a living[00:02:04]
He's a Louisiana man[00:02:04]
Gotta make a living[00:02:04]
He's a Louisiana man[00:02:04]
Gotta make a living[00:02:04]
He's a Louisiana man[00:02:04]
Gotta make a living[00:02:04]
He's a Louisiana man[00:02:04]
