Crawdad Song

George Jones & Tammy Wynette



You get a line and I'll get a pole, honey

You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe

You get a line and I'll get a pole

We'll go down to the crawdad hole

Honey, baby of mine.



Yonder come a man with a sack on his back, honey (honey)

Yonder come a man with a sack on his back, babe (babe)

Yonder come a man with a sack on his back

Got all the crawdads in his sack

(Honey, baby of mine.)



The man feel down and he burst his bag, honey (honey)

The man feel down and he burst his bag, babe (babe)

The man feel down and he burst his bag

Along came the crawdads back in the bag ?

(Honey, baby of mine.)



You get, I'll get, honey

You get, I'll get, babe

You get, I'll get

We'll get

(Honey, baby of mine.)



--- Instrumental ---



What you goin' do when the sun goes dry , honey (honey) ?

What you goin' do when the sun goes dry, babe (babe)

What you goin' do when the sun goes dry

Sit on the back and watch the crawdads die

(Honey, baby of mine.)



You get, I'll get, honey

You get, I'll get, babe

You get, I'll get

We'll get

(Honey, baby of mine.)



You get a line and I'll get a pole, honey

You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe

You get a line and I'll get a pole

We'll go down to the crawdad hole.

(Honey, baby of mine...)
