I Got A Hold In My Pirogue - Johnny Horton

Well, I went out a fishin' to make a little mon

To take to Cajulina so we could have some fun

On the way back, I knocked a hole in my bow

I got a hole in my pirogue, I can’t go see my gal

The purtiest sight that you ever have seen

Is a moonlight night down in New Orleans

I’m up the river, just around the bend

I got a hole in my pirogue, I just can’t hold it in

Well, Catelina’s waitin' with tears in her eyes

Munchin' and a crunchin' on a crawfish pie

I smell a feeling floatin' through the air

I got a hole in my pirogue, I can’t go see my Cher

The purtiest sight that you ever have seen

Is a moonlight night down in New Orleans

I’m up the river on around the bend

I got a hole in my pirogue, I just can’t hold it in

Yeah I’m here on the bayou, sittin' all alone

With a busted bottom and I can’t pole it home

Cajulina’s waitin' lonesome as can be

I got a hole in my pirogue, I can’t go see my she

The purtiest sight that you ever have seen

Is a moonlight night down in New Orleans

I’m up the river on around the bend

I got a hole in my pirogue, I just can’t hold it in
