The crawfish song

J. Edmunds

“What cha gonna do when the river goes dry, O Babe?

What cha gonna do when the river goes dry, O Babe?

What cha gonna do when the river goes dry?”

“I'm gonna stand on the bank and watch the crawfish die, O Babe.”

“What cha gonna do when the meat gives out, O Babe?

What cha gonna do when the meat gives out, O Babe?

What cha gonna do when the meat gives out?”

“I'm gonna stand on the porch a-with my mouth stuck out, O Babe.”

“What cha gonna do when the rent comes round, O Babe?

What cha gonna do when the rent comes round, O Babe?

What cha gonna do when the rent comes round?”

“I'm gonna lock up the door and let the landlord poun', O Babe.”
