Louisiana Man by Doug Kershaw
Well, at mom and papa their boy Ned
Raised him on the of a bed
On a tied to a big tall tree
A home for my papa and my mama and me
The strikes and papa to his feet
Already mama's papa to eat
At half past, papa he's to go
He in his headed down the bayou
He's got lines across the Rivers
Gotta a big fish for us to eat
He's traps in the catching he can
He's make a living, he's a man
Gotta make a living, he's a man
My hides by the dozens
Even got a lady mink, a muskrat's cousin
Got 'em out in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow papa's turn 'em into money
Well, they call mama Rita and my Jack
Little baby on the that's Mack
Bren and Lin are the twins
And big Ed's on the fishing
On the floats papa's big boat
And that's how my papa goes into town
Takes him bit of a and a day
To even a where the stay
And I can wait tomorrow around
That's the day my papa his furs to town
Papa me that I go
He'd even let me see a show
I saw the and for the time then
I told my pop I've go again
Well, Papa said, "Son we've got to run
We'll come back but there's work to be done"
He's got lines across the Rivers
Gotta a big fish for us to eat
He's traps in the catching he can
Gotta make a living, he's a man
Gotta make a living, he's a man
Gotta make a living, he's a man
Gotta make a living, he's a man
Gotta make a living, he's a man
