Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]At first mom and papa
called their little boy Ned
They raise him on the
banks of the [D]river [G]bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree a home
for my papa and my [D]mama and [G]me
The clock strikes three papa
jumps to his feet
Already mama's cookin'
papa somethin' [D]to [G]eat
At half past papa he's ready to go he jumps
in his piro headed [D]down the bay[G]ou
He's got [C]fishin' lines strung
across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us [G]to [C]eat
Headin' crops in the swamp
catchin' everythin' he can
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man gotta make
a livin' he's a [G]Louisiana [C]man[G]
Muskart hides a hangin' by the dozen even
got a lady make [D]a m[G]uskart's cousin
Pile of hide drying in the hot hot sun tomorrow
papa's gonna turn them in[D]to [G]money

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]Well they call mama Rita and my daddy Jack
A little baby brother on
the [D]floor that's [G]Mac
Riz and Liz are the family twins big brother
Ed's on the bay[D]ou [G]fishin'
On the river float papa's great big boat
that's how my papa goes [D]into [G]town
He takes every bit of the night and day
Then ever reach the place
where the [D]people [G]stay
[C]I can hardly wait till tomorrow
comes around
That's the day my papa
takes his fure to town
Papa promised me that I could go
even let me see a [G]cowboy [C]show
I saw the [G]cowboys and Indians for the first time
then I told my papa gotta [D]go [G]again
Papa said son we got the lines to run we'll come
back again there's work to [D]be [G]done
He's got [C]fishin' lines...
