Louisiana Man (Live) (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
Well at birth mom and papa called their little boy Ned[00:00:11]
Raised him on the banks of a river bed[00:00:14]
On a houseboat tied to a big tall tree[00:00:19]
A home for my papa and my mama and me[00:00:23]
The clock strikes three and papa jumps to his feet[00:00:26]
Already mama's cooking papa something to eat[00:00:30]
At half past papa he's ready to go[00:00:33]
He jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou[00:00:36]
Fishing lines strung across the Louisiana Rivers[00:00:40]
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat[00:00:43]
Setting traps catching anything he can[00:00:46]
Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man[00:00:50]
Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man[00:00:53]
Muskrat hides hanging by the dozens[00:00:56]
Even got a lady mink a muskrat's cousin[00:01:00]
Got 'em out drying in the hot hot sun[00:01:03]
Tomorrow papa's gonna turn 'em into money[00:01:06]
Oh mama Rita and my daddy Jack[00:01:16]
Little baby brother on the floor that's Mack[00:01:19]
Bren and Lin are the family twins[00:01:22]
And big brother Ed's on the bayou fishing[00:01:26]
On the river floats papa's great big boat[00:01:29]
And that's how my papa goes into town[00:01:32]
Takes him every bit of a night and a day[00:01:36]
In reach a place where the people stay[00:01:39]
I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around[00:01:43]
That's the day my papa takes his furs to town[00:01:46]
Papa promised me that I can go[00:01:49]
He'd even let me see a cowboy show[00:01:53]
I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then[00:01:56]
I told my pop I've gotta go again[00:02:00]
Papa said "how we've got lines to run[00:02:03]
Come back again but first there's work to be done"[00:02:07]
He's got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana Rivers[00:02:26]
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat[00:02:29]
He's setting traps in the swamp catching anything he can[00:02:32]
Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man[00:02:36]
Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man[00:02:39]
