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!
