Johnny Horton - I Got A Hole In My Pirogue lyrics

Well I went outta fishin' to make a little mon

To take to Cajun Leena 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 no gal

(chorus)

The prettiest sight that you ever have seen some moonlite 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 haul it in

[ guitar ]

Cajun Leena's waitin' with tears in her eyes, munchin' and a cruchin' on a crawfish pie

I can smell the file' floatin' through the air

I got a hole in my pirogue I can't go see my chere

The prettiest sight...

[ guitar ]

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

With a busted bottom and I can't haul it home

Cajun Leena's waitin' lonesome as can be

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

The prettiest sight...
