The Crawdad Song - Burl Ives

You get a line and I’ll get a pole, Honey

You get a line and I’ll get a pole, Babe

You get a line and I’ll get a pole

We’ll go fishin' in the crawdad hole

Honey, Baby mine

Sittin' on the bank 'til my feet get cold, Honey

Sittin' on the bank 'til my feet get cold, Babe

Sittin' on the bank 'til my feet get cold

Lookin' down that crawdad hole

Honey, Baby mine

Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, Honey

Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, Babe

Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back

Packin' all the crawdads he can pack

Honey, Baby mine

The man fell down and he broke that sack, Honey

The man fell down and he broke that sack, Babe

The man fell down and he broke that sack

See those crawdads backing back

Honey, Baby mine

I heard the duck say to the drake, Honey

I heard the duck say to the drake, Babe

I heard the duck say to the drake

There ain’t no crawdads in this lake

Honey, Baby mine
