Louisiana Man (Stereo) (1999 Digital Remaster)

louisiana man - the seekers
oh, yeh! cajun man,
do all he can,
gotta make a livin';
he's a louisiana man.
at birth, mama 'n' papa
called their little boy ned;
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 a-ready to go;
he jumps in his bureau
headed down the bayou.
he's got a fishin' line strung
across a louisiana river,
gotta catch a big fish for us to eat.
he sets his traps in the swamps,
catches anything he can;
gotta make a livin';
he's a louisiana man.
gotta make a livin';
he's a louisiana man.
oh, yeh! cajun man,
do all he can,
gotta make a livin';
he's a louisiana man.
they call mama rita
and my daddy jack;
the little baby brother
on the floor is mack.
bryn 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
takes ev'ry bit of the night and day
to even reach a place
where the people stay.
he's got a fishin' line strung
across a louisiana river,
gotta catch a big fish for us to eat.
he sets his traps in the swamps,
catches anything he can;
gotta make a livin';
he's a louisiana man.
gotta make a livin';
he's a louisiana man.
i can hardly wait
'til tomorrow comes 'round;
that's the day
my papa takes his furs to town.
papa said, "son, we got lines to run.
we come back again,
'cause there's work to be done."
he's got a fishin' line strung
across a louisiana river,
gotta catch a big fish for us to eat.
he sets his traps in the swamps,
catches anything he can;
gotta make a livin';
he's a louisiana man.
gotta make a livin';
he's a louisiana man.
oh, yeh! cajun man,
do all he can,
gotta make a livin';
he's a louisiana man.
gotta make a livin';
he's a louisiana man.
