Burl Ives - The crawdad Song

You'll get a line an' I'll get a pole, now, honey

You'll get a line an' I'll get a pole, babe

You'll get a line an' I'll get a pole,

Now, let's go down to that crawdads hole

Honey, baby, mine

Yond'r come a man with a sack on his back, now, honey

Yond'r come a man with a sack on his back, oh, babe

Yond'r come a man with a sack on his back,

He's got him all crawdads he can pack

Honey, baby, mine

Man fell down and he broke that sack, honey

Man fell down and he broke that sack, oh, babe

Man fell down and he broke that sack,

You'd better see them crawdads goin' back

Honey, baby, mine

What you gonna do when the pond goes dry, now, honey

What you gonna do when the pond goes dry, oh, babe

What you gonna do when the pond goes dry,

I'm gonna stand on the bank and watch the crawdads die

Honey, baby, mine

Sat on the pond, to my feet got cold, now, honey

Sat on the pond, to my feet got cold, babe

Sat on the pond, to my feet got cold,

I was lookin' right down that crawdads hole

Honey, baby, mine
