You get a line, I'll get a pole, honey
You get a line, I'll get a pole, babe
You get a line, I'll get a pole
We'll go down to the crawdad hole
Honey, babe of mine

(Wooh!)
(Hey Hey!)
(Wooh!)
(Hey! Boy, don't let him get away)

Hurry up babe, you slept too late, honey
Hurry up babe, you slept too late, babe
Hurry up honey, you slept too late
The crawdad man done passed your gate
Honey, babe of mine

Sell your crawdads three for a dime, honey
Sell your crawdads three for a dime, babe
Sell your crawdads three for a dime
Your crawdads ain't good as mine
Honey, babe of mine

(Wooh!)

What're you gonna do when the lake goes dry, honey
What're you gonna do when the lake goes dry, babe
What're you gonna do when the lake goes dry
Sit on the bank watch the crawdads die
Honey, babe of mine

Now, if you want to hear Son' Terry play, honey
If you want to hear Son' Terry play, babe
If you want to hear Son' Terry play
Sonny and I are gonna take it away
Sonny, play right on, Sonny

(Hey!)

Hurry up babe, you slept too late, baby
Hurry up babe, you slept too late, babe
Hurry up babe, you slept too late
The crawdad man went past your gate
Honey, babe of mine

(Wooh!)

I heard the duck say to the drake, honey
I heard the duck say to the drake, babe
I heard the duck say to the drake
Ain't no crawdads in this lake
Honey, babe of mine

(Wooh!)

There's a little bitty baby, nine days old, honey
Little bitty baby, nine days old, sweet thang
Little bitty baby, nine days old
Stuck his finger in a crawdad hole
Hey, hey, hey, hey
