Lousiana Man Lyrics

LOUISIANA MAN

WITH THE POZO SECO SINGERS)

WRITER DOUG KERSHAW



At first Mom and Poppa called the little girl a lady They raised her on the
banks of a river bed A house boat tied to a big tall tree A home for my poppa
and my momma and me The clock strikes three Poppa jumps to his fee Already
Moma's cookin' Poppa somethin' to eat At half past Poppa he's a ready to go, he
jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou He's got fishin' line strung across
the 'Lousiana River Got to catch a big fish for us to eat He's settin' his
traps catchin' anything he can Gotta make a livin' he's a 'Lousiana man,gotta
make a livin' he's a 'Lousiana man Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen, even got
a little bitty muskrat cousin Got 'em out dryin' in the hot hot sun, tomorrow
Poppa's gone turn em into money They call Moma Rita and my Daddy Jack,my little
baby brother on the floor that's Mac,Rhett and Lynn are the family twins,big
brother Eddie's on the bayou fishin' On the river floats Poppa's great big boat
That's how me and Poppa get in to town It takes every bit of a night and day to
even reach a place where the people stay Oh I can hardly wait until tomorrow
comes around That's the day my Poppa takes the furs to town Poppa done promised
me that I could go He'd even let me see a cowboy show I saw the cowboys and
Indians for the first time then I told my Poppa "gotta go again" but
Poppa says"Hon we got lines to run,we'll have to come again,cause theres
work to be done" He's got fishin' line strung across the 'Lousiana River
Got a catch a big fish for us to eat He's settin' his traps catchin' anything
he can Gotta make a livin' he's a' Lousiana man Gotta make a livin' he's a'
Lousiana man-an Poppa done promised me that I could go He'd even let me see the
cowboy show I saw the cowboys and indians for the first time then I told my
Poppa "Gotta go again" but Poppa said "Hon, we got lines to
run,we'll have to come again cause theres work to be done repeat chorus-
