Lyrics:
Crawfish
1. Every time that it rains
And the Mississippi drains
Down the bayou
When Spring comes around
We head for higher ground
Atchafalaya
It’s down in the home
Of the Tupelo Gum
And Cypress
Settin’ crosslines and traps
For shrimp and Blue Cats
And Crawfish
Chorus
It sure do go nice
With red beans and rice
And boudin
I’m swamp born and raised
And here I will stay
Come hell or high water
In South Louisian'
1. Now the engineerin’ man
See he don’t give a damn
About a coonass
And the levees they built
Hold back the silt
From the cordgrass
And the politician stumps
Say he gonna save the swamps
And marshes
But then the oil man
Put some money in his hand
Crawfish!
(Repeat Chorus)
