Chorus:
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 that crawdad hole
Honey baby mine
Sit on the bank til my feet get cold honey ( x3 )
Watchin' them crawdads jump in that hole
Honey, sugar baby mine
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back ( x3 )
He's more crawdads than he can pack
Honey baby mine
He fell down and he bust that sack ( x3 )
Just watch them crawdads backin' back
Honey baby mine
What you gonna do when the pond's gone dry honey ( x3 )
Gonna sit on the bank and cry, cry, cry
Honey baby mine
What did the hen duck say to the drake, honey ( x3 )
Ain't no crawdads in this lake
Honey, babe of mine
Lots more verses:
Get up babe, you slept too late, honey ( x3 )
The crawdad man done passed your gate
Honey, babe of mine
Sell your crawdads three for a dime, honey ( x3 )
Your crawdads ain't good as mine
Honey, babe of mine
What you gonna do when the pond's gone dry honey ( x3 )
Sit on the bank watch the crawdads die
Honey baby mine
There's a little bitty baby, nine days old, honey ( x3 )
Stuck his finger in a crawdad hole
Honey, babe of mine
What you gonna do when lose your pole, honey (x3)
Just set and look down that crawdad hole
Honey baby mine
From The Weavers:
Let's go down to the crawdad hole, Honey…
Catch all the crawdads we can hold
You get the line and I'll get the pole, Honey…
We'll all go fishin' in the crawdad hole,
Crawdad, crawdad feel you mighty fine, Honey…
Two for a nickel and three for dime,
What 'you gonna do when the rent comes due, Honey…
I'm gonna move out, move in with you,
There's lots more verses to this song, Honey…
But I guess I'd better be moving along,
