Lyrics
You get a line and i'll get a pole honey
You get a line and i'll get a pole babe
You get a line and i'll get a pole and we'll go down to the crawdad hole
Honey, baby, mine
Sat on the bank til my feet got cold honey
Sat on the bank til my feet got cold babe
Sat on the bank til my feet got cold watching them crawdads jump in that hole
Honey, baby, mine
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back uh huh
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back babe
The great big sack upon his back got more crawdads than he can pack
Honey, baby, mine
Well he fell down and he busted that sack uh huh (look out now)
That man fell down and he busted that sack babe
Yeah he fell down and he busted that sack just watch them crawdads backing back
Honey, baby, mine
Well what did the hen duck say to the drake honey?
Come here ya sweet thing
What did the hen duck say to the drake babe?
What did the hen duck say to the drake?
Ain't more crawdads in this lake
Honey, baby, mineDemo Videos
