Chuck Cheesman: Music
Crawdad Song
(traditional - original lyrics by Chuck Cheesman)
This is from my "A Family Songbook" CD. Mark Dvorak adds a nice banjo and Karen Banks-Lubicz provides harmony vocals. This is an old song. The new lyrics are my original work.
Chorus:
You get a line and I'll get a pole, honey.
You get a line and I'll get a pole, baby.
You get a line and I'll get a pole,
We'll go down to the crawdad hole.
Honey. Baby. Mine.
Get out of bed before sunrise...
We're cooking up something, it's a big surprise...
Orange juice, coffee, huckleberry cakes...
If I eat one more my tummy's going to break...
Repeat Chorus
Catfish are jumping and the moon is out...
This is what a fishing trip is all about...
Repeat Chorus
Put that fishing cap on your head....
If it rains anymore I'm going back to bed...
Repeat Chorus until worn-out!
