You get a line and I'll get a pole honey
You get line and 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
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back honey
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back babe
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back
He's got more crawdads than he could pack
Honey baby mine
Man fell down and he burst his sack honey
Man fell down and he burst his sack babe
Man fell down and he burst his sack
You oughta see the crawdad backin' back
Honey baby mine
What you gonna do when the pond's gone dry honey
What you gonna do when the pond's gone dry babe
What you gonna do when the pond's gone dry
Sit on the banks and watch the crawdads die
Honey baby mine
Sit on the bank til my feet get cold honey
Sit on the bank til my feet get cold babe
Sit on the bank til my feet get cold we'll go down
To the crawdad hole honey, sugar baby mine
Hurry up babe, you slept too late, honey
Hurry up babe, you slept too late, babe
Hurry up honey, you slept too late
The crawdad man done passed your gate
Honey, babe of mine
Sell your crawdads three for a dime, honey
Sell your crawdads three for a dime, babe
Sell your crawdads three for a dime
Your crawdads ain't good as mine
Honey, babe of mine
What're you gonna do when the lake goes dry, honey
What're you gonna do when the lake goes dry, babe
What're you gonna do when the lake goes dry
Sit on the bank watch the crawdads die
Honey, babe of mine
I heard the duck say to the drake, honey
I heard the duck say to the drake, babe
I heard the duck say to the drake
Ain't no crawdads in this lake
Honey, babe of mine
There's a little bitty baby, nine days old, honey
Little bitty baby, nine days old, sweet thang
Little bitty baby, nine days old
Stuck his finger in a crawdad hole
Honey, babe of mine
