Louisiana Man - The Hollies (冬青)[00:00:00]
Written by:Doug Kershaw[00:00:01]
At first mama papa called the little boy ned[00:00:07]
Raised him on the banks of the river bed[00:00:10]
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree[00:00:13]
A home for my papa and my mama and me[00:00:16]
The clock strikes three papa jumps to his feet[00:00:20]
Already mama's cookin' papa somethin' to eat[00:00:23]
At half past papa he's a ready to go[00:00:26]
He jumps in his bireau headin' down the bayou[00:00:29]
He's got a fishin' line strung across the Louisiana river[00:00:32]
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat[00:00:35]
He sets his traps catchin' anythin' he can[00:00:38]
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man[00:00:42]
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man[00:00:45]
Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen[00:00:48]
Even got a lady makes a muscrat cousin[00:00:51]
Papa has 'em dryin' in the hot hot sun[00:00:54]
Tomorrow papa's gonna turn 'em to mon[00:00:57]
Call my mama Riiita and my daddy Jack[00:01:13]
Little boy brother on the floor is matt[00:01:16]
Green and lynn are the family twins[00:01:19]
Big brother ed's on the bayou fishin'[00:01:23]
On the river floats papa's great big boat[00:01:26]
That's how my papa goes into town[00:01:29]
Takes every bit of the night and day[00:01:32]
To even reachthe place where the people stay[00:01:35]
I can hardly wait till tomorrow comes around[00:01:38]
That's the day my papa takes his furs to town[00:01:42]
Papa promised me that I could go[00:01:45]
He'd even let me see a cowboy show[00:01:48]
I'd seen the cowboys and indians for the first time then[00:01:54]
Told my papagotta go again[00:01:57]
Papa said son we got a life to run[00:02:01]
We'd come back again 'cause there's work to be done[00:02:04]
He's got a fishin' line strung across the Louisiana river[00:02:07]
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat[00:02:10]
He sets his traps catchin' anythin' he can[00:02:13]
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man[00:02:16]
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man[00:02:20]
