At birth mama papa called their little boy Ned
Raised him on the banks of a river bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree
A home for my papa and my mama and me
The clock strikes three papa jumps to his feet
Already mamaâs cookin' papa somethin' to eat
At half past papa heâs a-ready to go
He jumps in his pirogue and he's down the bayou
Heâs got fishin' lines strung up on the Looziana rivers
Try to catch a big fish for us to eat
He set the traps in the swamp catchin' anything he can
Try to make a livin', heâs a Looziana Man
Try to make a livin', heâs a Looziana Man
Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozens
Even got a lady mink, a muskratâs cousin
Got âem out dryin' in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow papaâs gonna turn âem into mon(ey)
Well they call mama Rita and my daddy Jack
Little baby brother on the floor thatâs Mack
Fred and Lynn are the family twins*
Big brother Edâs on the bayou fishin'
On the river floats papaâs great big boat
Thatâs how my papa goes into town
Takes every bit of a night and a day
And even takes place where the people stay**
I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around
Thatâs the day my papa takes the furs to town
Papa promised me that I could go
Even let me see a cowboy show
I seen the cowboys and Indians for the first time then
I told my papa gotta go again
Papa said son we got lines to run
Weâll come back again 'cause thereâs work to be done
Heâs got fishin' lines strung up on the Looziana rivers
Try to catch a big fish for us to eat
He set the traps in the swamp catchin' anything he can
Try to make a livin', heâs a Looziana Man
Try to make a livin', heâs a Looziana Man
