Louisiana Man - Remastered Version

Well, at birth Mom and Papa called their little boy Ned
He 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 momma and me

Already Momma痴 cookin Papa somethin to eat
At half past, Papa, he痴 a-ready to go
He jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou

- He痴 got fishin lines strung across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He痴 settin traps in the swamps, catchin anything he can
Gotta make a livin, he痴 a Louisiana man
Gotta make a livin, he痴 a Louisiana man

Even got a lady mink, a muskrat痴 cousin
Got 粗m out dryin in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow Papa痴 gonna turn 粗m into mon

Little baby brother on the floor, that痴 Mack
Bren and Lin are the family twins
And big brother Ed, he痴 on the bayou fishin

And that痴 how my papa goes into town
It takes him every bit of a night and a day
To even reach a place where the people stay

- He痴 got fishin lines strung across the Louisiana River...

That痴 the day my papa takes the furs to town
Papa promised me that I could go
He壇 even let me see a cowboy show

- He痴 got fishin lines strung across the Louisiana River...
