Louisiana Man — текст песни (Rick Nelson)

At first mom and papa called their little boy Ned
They raise him on the banks of the 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 mama`s cookin` papa somethin` to eat
At half past papa he`s ready to go he jumps in his piro headed down the bayou
He`s got fishin` lines strung across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He`s settin` his traps catchin` anything he can
Gotta make a livin` he`s a Louisiana man gotta make a livin` he`s a Louisiana man

Muskart hides hanging by the dozen even got a little baby muskart`s cousin
Gotta `em fryin` in the hot hot sun tomorrow papa`s gonna turn them into mon
[ dobro ]
They call mama Rita and my daddy Jack
My little baby brother on the floor that`s Mac
Red 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
He takes every bit of the night and day
Then even reach the place where the people stay
I can hardly wait till tomorrow comes around
That`s the day my papa takes his fures to town
Papa promised me that I could go even let me see a cowboy show
I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then I told my papa gotta go again
Papa said son we got the lines to run
We`ll come back again cause there`s work to be done
[ dobro ]
He`s got fishin` lines...
Gotta make a livin` he`s a Louisiana man gotta make a livin` he`s a Louisiana man
