At birth mom and papa had their little boy Ned

Raised him on the banks of a river bed

Houseboat was tied to a big tall tree

A home for my mama and my papa and me

The clock strikes three and papa jumps to his feet

Already mama’s cooking papa something to eat

At half past papa he’s ready to go

He jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou

He’s got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana rivers

Gotta catch a fresh fish for us to eat

Traps in the swamp catching anything he can

Gotta make a living, he’s a Louisiana Man

Gotta make a living, he’s a Louisiana Man

Muskrat hides hanging by the dozens

Got about enough to make Muskrat’s cousin

Got ‘em out drying in the hot, hot sun

Tomorrow papa’s gonna turn ‘em into mon(ey)

They call mama Rita and my daddy Jack

Little baby brother on the floor that’s Mack

Bren(da) and Lin(da) are the family twins

Big brother Ed’s on the bayou fishing

Along papa came in a great big boat

That’s how my papa take her furs to town

It takes every bit of a night and a day

To even take a place where the people stay

I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around

That’s when my papa takes his furs to town

Papa promised me that I could go

He’d even let me see a cowboy show

I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then

I told my pop I’ve gotta go again

Papa said son we’ve got lines to run

We’ll come back again soon but there’s work to be done

He’s got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana rivers

Gotta catch a fresh fish for us to eat

Traps in the swamp catching anything he can

Gotta make a living, he’s a Louisiana Man

Gotta make a living, he’s a Louisiana Man

Gotta make a living, he’s a Louisiana Man

Gotta make a living, he’s a Louisiana Man

Gotta make a living, he’s a Louisiana Man

Gotta make a living, he’s a Louisiana Man
