Buck Owens - Louisiana Man Lyrics

Send "Louisiana Man" ringtone to your cell

At first mom and papa called little boy Ned

They 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 cookin' papa somethin' to eat

At half past, papa he's ready to go

He hops in his piro, headed down the bayou.

They got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River

Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat

They're settin' traps in the swamp catchin' everythin' he can

Gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.

Gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.

Muskart hides a hangin' by the dozen

Even got a lady make a muskart's cousin

Pile of hide dryin' in the hot, hot sun

Tomorrow papa's gonna turn them into mon.

They call my mama Rita and my daddy Jack

A little baby brother on the floor that's Mac

Rynn and Lynn are the family twins

Big brother Ed's on the bayou fishin'.

On the river floats papa's great big boat

That's how my papa goes into town

Makes every bit of the night and the day

Then ever reach the place where the people stay.

I can hardly wait untill tomorrow comes around

That's the day my papa takes his fures to town

Papa promised me that I could go

Even gonna see a cowboy show.

I see the cowboys and Indians for the first time then

Told my pappy, gotta go again

Papa said, son we got the lines to run

We'll come back again that there's work to be done.

And they got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River

Gonna catch a big fish for us to eat

They're settin' traps in the swamp catchin' everythin' he can

Gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.

Gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.

Gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.

Gonna make a livin' he's a Louisiana man...
