Lousiana Man

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-
