"Louisiana Man" lyrics

I heard Mom n Poppa tellin little boy Ned
Raised him on the banks by the riverbed
Houseboat tied to a tall tall tree
Home for Momma and Poppa and me

Clock strikes three Poppa jumps to his feet
Already Momma cooking Poppa somethin' to eat
Half-past five he's ready to go
Jumps in his hero headed down the bayou

Got fishin' lines hangin on the Louisiana river
Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat
Sets traps in the swamp, catchin' anything he can
Gotta make a livin', he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a livin', he's a Louisiana man

Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen
Even got a little baby muskrat cousin
Got 'em out dryin' in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow Poppa's gonna turn 'em into money

Got fishin' lines running on the Louisiana river
Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat
Settin' traps in the swamp, catchin' everything they can
Gonna make a livin', he's a Louisiana man
Gonna make a livin', he's a Louisiana man
Gonna make a livin', he's a Louisiana man
Gonna make a livin', he's a Louisiana man

Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen
Even got a little baby muskrat cousin
Got 'em out dryin' in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow Poppa's gonna turn 'em into money

Got fishin' lines hangin' on the Louisiana river
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
Sets traps in the swamp, catchin' everything they can
Gonna make a livin', he's a Louisiana man
Gonna make a livin', he's a Louisiana man
Gonna make a livin', he's a Louisiana man
Gonna make a livin', he's a Lou isi ana man
