Well, at birth Mom and Papa called their little boy Ned
He raised him on the banks of a river bed
On a houseboat tied to a big tall tree
A home for my papa and my momma and me
Already Mommaç´ cookin Papa somethin to eat
At half past, Papa, heç´ a-ready to go
He jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou
- Heç´ got fishin lines strung across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
Heç´ settin traps in the swamps, catchin anything he can
Gotta make a livin, heç´ a Louisiana man
Gotta make a livin, heç´ a Louisiana man
Even got a lady mink, a muskratç´ cousin
Got ç²m out dryin in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow Papaç´ gonna turn ç²m into mon
Little baby brother on the floor, thatç´ Mack
Bren and Lin are the family twins
And big brother Ed, heç´ on the bayou fishin
And thatç´ how my papa goes into town
It takes him every bit of a night and a day
To even reach a place where the people stay
- Heç´ got fishin lines strung across the Louisiana River...
Thatç´ the day my papa takes the furs to town
Papa promised me that I could go
Heå£ even let me see a cowboy show
- Heç´ got fishin lines strung across the Louisiana River...
