The Crawdad Song (Version 2) Lyrics
(Big Bill Broonzy)

You'll get a line, this the way the women sang it
You'll get a line, I'll get a pole, honey, and put the babies to sleep
You'll get a line, I'll get a pole, babe,
You'll get a line, I'll get a pole, and the men came in,
Let's go down to that crawdad hole
Now, 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,
Now, honey, baby, mine

Man fell down and he broke that sack, now, honey
Man fell down and he broke that sack, babe
Man fell down and he broke that sack,
You'd better see them all crawdads crawlin' back
Now, honey, baby, mine

Sat on the pole, my feet got cold, now, honey
Sat on the pole, my feet got cold, babe
Sat on the pole, my feet got cold,
I was lookin' right down that crawdads hole
Honey, baby, mine

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

I sat on the pole, my feet got cold, now, honey
Sat on the pole, my feet got cold, babe
Sat on the pole, my feet got cold,
Lookin' right down that crawdads hole
Now, honey, baby, mine

What did the he duck said to the drake, now, honey
What did the he duck said to the drake, babe
What did the he duck said to the drake,
There ain't no crawdads in this lake
Honey, baby, mine
