[Intro]
(Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen
I would like to introduce you to my special guest
She's from Mississippi
Her name is Bobbie Gentry)
[Verse 1]
At first Mom an' Poppa called their little girl, Lady
They raised her on the banks of a riverbed
A houseboat tied to a big, tall tree
A home for my Poppa an' my Momma and me
[Verse 2]
The clock strikes three, Poppa jumps to his feet
Already Momma's cookin' Poppa somethin' to eat
At half-past, Poppa, he's ready to go
He jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou
[Chorus]
He's got fishin' line strung across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He's settin' his traps, catchin' anythin' he can
Gotta make a livin', he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a livin', he's a Louisiana man
[Verse 3]
Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen
Even got a little bitty muskrat cousin
Got 'em out dryin' in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow, Poppa's gonna turn 'em into mon'
