e papa jumps to his feet Already mama's cookin' papa somethin' to eat At half past papa he's ready to go He jumps in his piro headed down the bayou. He's got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat Headin' crops in the swamp catchin' everythin' he can Go
tta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man. Muskrat hides a hangin' by the dozen Even got a lady make a muskrat's cousin Pile of hide drying in the hot hot sun Tomorrow papa's gonna turn them into mon. Well they call mama Rita and my daddy Jack A little baby
brother on the floor that's Mac Riz and Liz are the family twins Big brother Ed's on the bayou fishin'. On the river float papa's great big boat That's how my papa goes into town He takes every bit of the night and day Then ever reach the place where the people stay. I can hardly wait till tomor
row comes around That's the day my papa takes his furs to town Papa promised me that I could go Even let me see a cowboy show. I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then I told my papa gotta go again Papa said son we got the lines to run We'll come back again there's work to be done.
Got fishin' lines running cross the Louisiana river Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat, Settin' traps in the swamp, catchin' everything he can Gotta make a livin' he's a Lousiana man Gotta make a livin' he's a Lousiana man. Written by Doug Kershaw Video created Jan 15/2008 by MisterCanning
