Crawdad Song lyrics

You get a line and I'll get a pole, oh, baby
You get a line and I'll get a pole, oh, babe
You get a line and I'll get a pole
An I'll met you down by the crawdad hole

Oh, well, a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby mine
A well, you don't miss water 'til the well runs dry
You don't miss the water 'til the well runs dry
Don't miss the water 'til the well runs dry

And you don't miss your man 'til he says good bye
Oh, well, a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby mine
So when you see me coming, hoist your windows high

When you see me coming, hoist your windows high
When you see me coming, hoist your windows high
When you see me leavin' hang your head and cry

Oh, well, a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby mine
Watcha gonna do when your chair gives out
My sweet thing?
Watcha gonna do when your chair gives out, my babe?

When you got no liquor, no chair, no shoes
Well, you lay 'cross the bed with your head in the blues
Oh, well, a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby mine

Oh, well, I dance all night with a bottle in my hand, oh, baby
Dance all night with a bottle in my hand, oh, babe
Dance all night with a bottle in my hand
I'm looking for a woman, ain't got no man

Oh, well, a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby mine
Wonder what Satan's grumbling 'bout, oh, baby
Wonder what Satan's grumbling 'bout, oh, babe
Wonder what Satan's grumbling 'bout
Oh, well, he's chained down in hell and can't get out

Oh, well, a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby mine
Wake up, old man, you slept too late this mornin'
Wake up, old man, you slept too late this evenin'
Wake up, old man, you slept too late
The crawdad wagon done passed your gate

Oh, well, a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby mine
You get a line and I'll get a pole, oh, baby
You get a line and I'll get a pole, oh, babe
You get a line and I'll get a pole

And I'll met you down by the crawdad hole
Oh, well, a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby mine

You get a line and I'll get a pole, oh, baby
You get a line and I'll get a pole, oh, babe
You get a line and I'll get a pole
