Louisiana Man (Acuff & Rose) sung by Doug Kershaw At birth mom and papa called their little boy Ned Raised him on the banks of a river bed 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 Bridge: (1st) 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 He�s gotta make a living, he�s a Louisiana Man He�s got 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 mon(ey) They call mama Rita and my daddy Jack Little baby brother on the floor that�s Mack Bren(da) and Lin(da) are the family twins And big brother Ed�s on the bayou fishing On the river floats papa�s great big boat That�s how my papa goes into town It takes every bit of a night and a day To even reach a place where people stay Bridge: (2nd) 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 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 He�s gotta make a living, he�s a Louisiana Man He�s gotta make a living, he�s a Louisiana Man Please listen to Clarence's Cajun radio program in Baton Rouge.
