Lyrics Louisiana Man - Vern Gosdin
Well,
at
birth
mom
and
papa
called
their
little
boy
Ned
Raised
him
on
the
banks
of
a
river
bed
On
a
houseboat
tied
to
a
big
tall
tree
A
home
for
my
papa
and
my
mama
and
me
The
clock
strikes
three
and
papa
jumps
to
his
feet
Already
mama's
cooking
papa
something
to
eat
At
half
past,
papa
he's
ready
to
go
He
jumps
in
his
pirogue
headed
down
the
bayou
He's
got
fishing
lines
strung
across
the
Louisiana
Rivers
Gotta
catch
a
big
fish
for
us
to
eat
He's
setting
traps
in
the
swamp
catching
anything
he
can
He's
gotta
make
a
living,
he's
a
Louisiana
man
Gotta
make
a
living,
he's
a
Louisiana
man
My
Muskrat
hides
hanging
by
the
dozens
Even
got
a
lady
mink,
a
muskrat's
cousin
Got
'em
out
drying
in
the
hot,
hot
sun
Tomorrow
papa's
gonna
turn
'em
into
money
Well,
they
call
mama
Rita
and
my
daddy
Jack
Little
baby
brother
on
the
floor
that's
Mack
Bren
and
Lin
are
the
family
twins
And
big
brother
Ed's
on
the
bayou
fishing
On
the
river
floats
papa's
great
big
boat
And
that's
how
my
papa
goes
into
town
Takes
him
every
bit
of
a
night
and
a
day
To
even
reach
a
place
where
the
people
stay
And
I
can
hardly
wait
until
tomorrow
comes
around
That's
the
day
my
papa
takes
his
furs
to
town
Papa
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
pop
I've
gotta
go
again
Well,
Papa
said,
"Son
we've
got
lines
to
run
We'll
come
back
again
but
first
there's
work
to
be
done"
He's
got
fishing
lines
strung
across
the
Louisiana
Rivers
Gotta
catch
a
big
fish
for
us
to
eat
He's
setting
traps
in
the
swamp
catching
anything
he
can
Gotta
make
a
living,
he's
a
Louisiana
man
Gotta
make
a
living,
he's
a
Louisiana
man
Gotta
make
a
living,
he's
a
Louisiana
man
Gotta
make
a
living,
he's
a
Louisiana
man
Gotta
make
a
living,
he's
a
Louisiana
man
