A Crawdad-Huntin' We Will Go

Got our bucket, got our pole

Headin' off to the fishin' hole

Sun's above and earth below

Oh, a crawdad-huntin' we will go

Oh, I'm tired and my legs are sore

I'll rest here against this pole

Snuggle-bug factor makes my Mama's heart flow

Oh, a crawdad-huntin' we will go

The water's just right, the line slides in

Mud and leaves making the view quite dim

But they'll come out from their watery holes

Oh, a crawdad-huntin' we will go

We've got our salami tied on tight

With meat like that, crawdads won't even fight

Soon they'll grab on and into the bucket they'll go

Oh, a crawdad-huntin' we will go

Waitin's fun as we sit in the sun

Snappin' away pictures of little hon-buns

Sister feels somethin' a tuggin' on the pole

Oh, a crawdad-huntin' we will go

She fishes them out, brave and strong

tosses them in the bucket, singin' a song

"Into the bucket, hey hidey ho,

Oh, a crawdad-huntin' we will go"

Patience pays off as the bucket fills up

Red creepy crawlies, struttin' their stuff

Raisin' up high with claws open just so

Oh a crawdad-huntin' we did go

After all that work, brother takes a rest

Snugglin' up close with a boy's best pet

Sister runs off to join a friend

Mama's left behind with a bucket full of red

Mama looks the other way and tosses to the sky

Eight squirming creatures on the fly

The sound of them splashin' in the creek lets us know

They'll be back when again, crawdad-huntin' we will go
