Along came a man with a sack on his back, honey
Along came a man with a sack on his back, babe
Along came a man with a sack on his back, he's got more crawdads than he can pack
Honey, baby, mine.

What you gonna do when the lake runs dry, honey
What you gonna do when the lake runs dry, babe
What you gonna do when the lake runs dry, sit on the bank and watch the crawdads die
Honey, baby, mine

Now what you gonna do when the crawdads die, honey
Now what you gonna do when the crawdads die, babe
What you gonna do when the crawdads die, sit on the bank until I cry
Honey, baby, mine

What did the hen-duck say to the drake, honey
What did the hen-duck say to the drake, babe
What did the hen-duck say to the drake, Well, there ain't no crawdads in this lake
Honey, baby, mine
