Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Been a long time since I been down to the crawdad hole
Been a long time since I been down to the crawdad hole
Last time I was down there I broke my line and my pole
[Verse 2]
I used to catch so many minnows, man they sure was nice and sweet
I used to catch so many minnows, boy they sure was nice and sweet
Now the pole's gone dry, I can't get no more to eat
[Verse 3]
Now my buddy asked me, what you gon' do now that the river's gone dry?
Well my buddy asked me, what you gon' do now that the river's gone dry?
I said, I'll go to sit on the bank and watch the crawdad's die
[Verse 4]
Gon' buy me a sailboat, take a trip 'cross the deep blue sea
Gon' buy me a sailboat, take a trip 'cross the deep blue sea
And if I don't catch no fish, I will bring my fish along with me
[Verse 5]
Well they hung out a sign, say, you can't go fishing here no more
Well they hung out a sign, say, you can't go fishing here no more
That's all I ever need, I know where I can go
