Crawdad Song - Key of C lyrics

You get a line and I'll get a pole, 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 fishin' in the crawdad hole Honey, Baby mine Sittin' on the bank 'til my feet get cold, Honey Sittin' on the bank 'til my feet get cold, Babe Sittin' on the bank 'til my feet get cold Lookin' down that crawdad hole Honey, Baby mine Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, Honey Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, Babe Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back Packin' all the crawdads he can pack Honey, Baby mine The man fell down and he broke that sack, Honey The man fell down and he broke that sack, Babe The man fell down and he broke that sack See those crawdads backing back Honey, Baby mine 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 There ain't no crawdads in this lake Honey, Baby mine
