You grab a line, I'll grab a pole, honey
you grab a line, I'll grab a pole, babe
you grab a line, I'll grab a pole
we'll all go down to the crawdad hole
honey, sugar, baby mine
Get up old man you slept too late, honey
get up old man you slept too late, babe
get up old man you slept too late
the crawdad man done passed your gate
honey, sugar, baby mine
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, honey
yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, babe
yonder comes a man with a sack on his back
he’s packin' all the crawdads he can pack
honey, sugar, baby mine
The man fell down and bust his sack, honey
the man fell down and bust his sack, babe
the man fell down and bust his sack
look at all them crawdads back to back
honey, sugar, baby mine
You don't need more than a piece of string, honey
a crawdad'll eat most anything, babe
a piece of rope, a piece of twine
a piece of your finger will do just fine
honey, sugar, baby mine
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
there ain't no crawdads in this lake
honey, sugar, baby mine
What'cha gonna do when the river goes dry, honey
what'cha gonna do when the river goes dry, babe
what'cha gonna do when the river goes dry
sit on the bank and watch the crawdads die
honey, sugar, baby mine
What'cha gonna do when the crawdads die, honey
what'cha gonna do when the crawdads die, babe
what'cha gonna do when the crawdads die
sit on the bank and cry, cry, cry
honey, sugar, baby mine
Look at that crawdad strut around, honey
look at that crawdad strut around, babe
by the way that crawdad struts around
I'd say he's the mayor of crawdad town
honey, sugar, baby mine

"Michigan's premier neo folk artist ... is a modern day train hopping, banjo slinging troubadour who has made a name for
himself in small venues across the US. His charismatic live show garners (accurate) comparisons to Arlo and Woody.” (ThisIsHappening - photo credit: Jack Hirschorn)...more
