Crawdad Song - Woody Guthrie

You get a line, I’ll get a pole, honey

You get a line, I’ll get a pole, babe

You get a line, I’ll get a pole

We’ll go down to the crawdad hole

Honey, babe of mine

(Wooh!)

(Hey Hey!)

(Wooh!)

(Hey! Boy, don’t let him get away)

Hurry up babe, you slept too late, honey

Hurry up babe, you slept too late, babe

Hurry up honey, you slept too late

The crawdad man done passed your gate

Honey, babe of mine

Sell your crawdads three for a dime, honey

Sell your crawdads three for a dime, babe

Sell your crawdads three for a dime

Your crawdads ain’t good as mine

Honey, babe of mine

(Wooh!)

What’re you gonna do when the lake goes dry, honey

What’re you gonna do when the lake goes dry, babe

What’re you gonna do when the lake goes dry

Sit on the bank watch the crawdads die

Honey, babe of mine

Now, if you want to hear Son' Terry play, honey

If you want to hear Son' Terry play, babe

If you want to hear Son' Terry play

Sonny and I are gonna take it away

Sonny, play right on, Sonny

(Hey!)

Hurry up babe, you slept to late, baby

Hurry up babe, you slept too late, babe

Hurry up babe, you slept too late

The crawdad man went past your gate

Honey, babe of mine

(Wooh!)

I heard the duck say to the drake, honey

I heard the duck say to the drake, babe

I heard the duck say to the drake

Ain’t no crawdads in this lake

Honey, babe of mine

(Wooh!)

There’s a little bitty baby, nine days old, honey

Little bitty baby, nine days old, sweet thang

Little bitty baby, nine days old

Stuck his finger in a crawdad hole

Hey, hey, hey, hey
