lyrics

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, baby, mine

Hurry up, babe, you slept too late, honey
 Hurry up, babe, you slept too late, babe 
Hurry up, baby, you slept too late 
The crawdad man went past your gate 
Honey, baby, mine

Whatcha gonna do when the lake runs dry, honey 
Whatcha gonna do when the lake runs dry, babe
 Whatcha gonna do when the lake runs dry 
Sit on the bank, watch the crawdads die 
Honey, baby, mine

Whatcha gonna do when the crawdads die, honey
Whatcha gonna do when the crawdads die, babe
Whatcha gonna do when the crawdads die
Sit on the bank until I die
Honey, baby, mine

Yonder come a man with a sack on his back, honey 
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back, babe 
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back 
He’s totin’ all the crawdads he can pack 
Honey, baby, mine

Well he fell down and he bust that sack, honey
He fell down and he bust that sack, babe
He fell down and he bust that sack
All them crawdads crawling back
Honey, baby, mine

Sit on the bank til my feet got cold, honey
Sit on the bank til my feet got gold, babe
Sit on the bank til my feet got cold
Lookin down in the crawdad hole
Honey, baby, mine

What did the hen duck say to the drake, honey 
What did the hen duck say to the drake, babe
 What did the hen duck say to the drake 
Ain't no crawdads in that lake 
Honey, baby, mine

You get a... I get a... honey
You get a... I get a... babe
You get a... I get a... we get a...
Honey, baby, mine
