The clock strikes three papa jumps to his feet,
A D
already mama's cooking papa somethin' to eat.
D
At half past, papa he's a ready to go,
A D
he jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou.
CHORUS:
G
He's got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana
D G
River..gotta catch a big fish for us to eat.
G
He's settin' his traps, catchin' anything he can.
G
Gotta make a livin', he's a Louisiana man.

Gotta make a livin', he's a Louisiana man.
