Louisiana Man — текст песни (Buck Owens)

[ Don Rich]
At first mom and papa called their 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 said that crops 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
[ fiddle ]
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 float papa`s great big boat that`s how my papa goes into town
Makes every bit of the night and 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...
