Chorus:
You get a line and I'll get a pole, honey,
You get a line and I'll get a pole, baby
You get a line and I'll get a pole,
And we'll all go down to the crawdad hole,
Honey, sugar-baby mine.

See that crawdad strutting around, honey
See that crawdad strutting around, baby
See that crawdad strutting around
Think she's the mayor of the crawdad town,
Honey oh babe of mine

What you gonna do when the water runs dry, Honey
What you gonna do when the water runs dry, baby
What you gonna do when the water runs dry
Go down and what the crawdads die
Honey oh babe of mine

Crawdad is my favorite song, honey
Crawdad is my favorite song, baby
Crawdad is my favorite song
Think I've been here way too long
Honey oh babe of mine
