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 And we’ll go down to the Crawdad hole Honey sugar baby mine. Get up old man you slept too late honey Get up old man you slept too late babe Get up old man you slept too late Last piece of crawdad’s on your plate Honey sugar baby mine. Get up old woman you slept too late honey Get up old woman you slept too late babe Get up old woman you slept too late Crawdad man done passed your gate Honey sugar baby mine. Along come a man with a sack on his back honey Along come a man with a sack on his back babe Along come a man with a sack on his back Packin’ all the crawdads he can pack Honey sugar baby mine. What you gonna do when the crawdads die honey What you gonna do when the crawdads die baby What you gonna do when the crawdads die Sit on the bank until I cry Honey sugar baby mine. I heard the duck say to the drake honey I heard the duck say to the drake baby I heard the duck say to the drake There ain’t no crawdads in this lake Honey sugar baby mine.
