Seekers - Louisiana Man lyrics

Oh yeh! Cajun man do all he can Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man At birth Mama n Papa called their little boy Ned Raised him on the banks of the river bed A houseboat tied to a big tall tree A home for my mama and my papa and me The clock strikes three Papa jumps to his feet Already Mama's cooking Papa something to eat At half-past Papa he's a-ready to go He jumps in his bureau headed down the bayou He's got a fishing line strung across a Louisiana river Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat He sets his traps in the swamps catches anything he can Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man Oh yeh! Cajun man do all he can Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man They call Mama Rita and my daddy Jack the little baby brother on the floor is Mack Bryn and Lynn are the family twins Big brother Ed's on the bayou fishing On the river float Papa s great big boat That's how my papa goes into town Takes every bit of the night and day To even reach a place where the people stay He's got a fishing line strung across a Louisiana river Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat He sets his traps in the swamps catches anything he can Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man I can hardly wait till tomorrow comes round That's the day my Papa takes his furs to town Papa said Son we got lines to run We come back again cause there's work to be done He's got a fishing line strung across a Louisiana river Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat He sets his traps in the swamps catches anything he can Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man Oh yeh! Cajun man do all he can Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man Gotta make a living he's a Louisiana man
