Lousiana Man - Greatest Hits Of Tug Boat Records

At first mom and papa called their little boy Ned

They raise him on the banks of the river bed

A houseboat tied to a big tall tree a home

For my papa and my mama and me

The clock strikes three papa jumps to his feet

Already mama's cooking papa something to eat

At half past papa he's ready to go

He jumps in his piro headed down the bayou

He's got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana river

Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat

Heading crops in the swamp catching everything he can

Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man

Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man

Muskart hides a hanging by the dozen

Even got a lady make a mus kart's cousin

Pile of hide drying in the hot hot sun

Tomorrow papa's gonna turn them into Mon

Well they call mama Rita and my daddy Jack

A little baby brother on the floor that's Mac

Riz and Liz are the family twins

Big brother ed's on the bayou fishing

On the river float papa's great big boat

That's how my papa goes into town

He takes every bit of the night and day

Then ever reach the place where the people stay

I can hardly wait till tomorrow comes around

That's the day my papa takes his fure to town

Papa promised me that I could go even

Let me see a cowboy show

I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time

Then I told my papa gotta go again

Papa said son we got the lines to run

We'll come back again there's work to be done

He's got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana river

Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat

Heading crops in the swamp catching everything he can

Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man

Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man

Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man

Gotta make a living Louisiana man
