Crawdad Song - Big Bill Broonzy

You get a line and I’ll get a pole

Now honey

You get a line and I’ll get a pole

Babe

You get a line and I’ll get a pole

We’ll go down to the crawdad hole

Honey, baby, mine

Yonder come a man with a sack on his back

Now honey

Yonder come a man with a sack on his back

Oh babe

Yonder come a man with a sack on his back

He’s got him all the 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 'til my feet got cold

Now honey

Sat on the pond 'til my feet got cold

Babe

Sat on the pond 'til my feet got cold

I was lookin' right down that crawdad’s hole

Honey, baby, mine
