Big Bill Broonzy - The Crawdad Song Lyrics

(Big Bill Broonzy)

You'll get a line an' I'll get a pole, now, honey
You'll get a line an' I'll get a pole, babe
You'll get a line an' I'll get a pole,
Now, let's go down to that crawdads hole
Honey, baby, mine

Yond'r come a man with a sack on his back, now, honey
Yond'r come a man with a sack on his back, oh, babe
Yond'r come a man with a sack on his back,
He's got him all crawdads he can pack
Honey, baby, mine

Man fell down and he broke that sack, honey
Man fell down and he broke that sack, oh, babe
Man fell down and he broke that sack,
You'd better see them crawdads goin' back
Honey, baby, mine

What you gonna do when the pond goes dry, now, honey
What you gonna do when the pond goes dry, oh, babe
What you gonna do when the pond goes dry,
I'm gonna stand on the bank and watch the crawdads die
Honey, baby, mine

Sat on the pond, to my feet got cold, now, honey
Sat on the pond, to my feet got cold, babe
Sat on the pond, to my feet got cold,
I was lookin' right down that crawdads hole
Honey, baby, mine
