At first Mom and Poppa called the little girl a lady
They raised her on the banks of a river bed
A house boat tied to a big tall tree
A home for my poppa and my momma and me
The clock strikes three Poppa jumps to his fee
Already Moma`s cookin` Poppa somethin` to eat
At half past Poppa he`s a ready to go, he jumps in
his pirogue headed down the bayou
He`s got fishin` line strung across the `Lousiana River
Got to catch a big fish for us to eat
He`s settin` his traps catchin` anything he can
Gotta make a livin` he`s a `Lousiana man,gotta make
a livin` he`s a `Lousiana man
Muskrat hides hangin` by the dozen, even got a little bitty
muskrat cousin
Got `em out dryin` in the hot hot sun, tomorrow Poppa`s
gone turn em into money
They call Moma Rita and my Daddy Jack,my little baby
brother on the floor that`s Mac,Rhett and Lynn are the
family twins,big brother Eddie`s on the bayou fishin`
On the river floats Poppa`s great big boat
That`s how me and Poppa get in to town
It takes every bit of a night and day to even reach
a place where the people stay
Oh I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around
That`s the day my Poppa takes the furs to town
Poppa done promised me that I could go
He`d even let me see a cowboy show
I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then
I told my Poppa `gotta go again` but Poppa says`Hon
we got lines to run,we`ll have to come again,cause theres
work to be done`
He`s got fishin` line strung across the `Lousiana River
Got a catch a big fish for us to eat
He`s settin` his traps catchin` anything he can
Gotta make a livin` he`s a` Lousiana man
Gotta make a livin` he`s a` Lousiana man-an
Poppa done promised me that I could go
He`d even let me see the cowboy show
I saw the cowboys and indians for the first time then
I told my Poppa `Gotta go again` but Poppa said `Hon,
we got lines to run,we`ll have to come again cause theres
work to be done
