[Verse 1]
You get a line and I'll get a pole, honey
You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe
You get a line and I'll get a pole
We'll go down to the crawdad hole
Honey, baby, mine

[Verse 2]
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back, honey (Honey)
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back, babe (Babe)
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back
Got all the crawdads he can pack
Honey, baby, mine

[Verse 3]
The man fell down and he burst his sack, honey (honey)
The man fell down and he burst his sack, babe (babe)
The man fell down and he burst his sack
You oughta seen the crawdads backin' back
Honey, baby, mine

[Chorus]
You get a, I'll get a, honey (You get the line and I get the pole)
You get a, I'll get a, babe (You get the line and I get the pole)
You get a, I'll get a, we'll go (Ah)
Honey, baby, mine
[Verse 4]
What you gonna do when the pond goes dry, honey?
What you gonna do when the pond goes dry, babe?
What you gonna do when the pond goes dry?
Sit on the banks, watch the crawdads die?
Honey, baby, mine

[Chorus]
You get a, I'll get a, honey (You get the line and I get the pole)
You get a, I'll get a, babe (You get the line and I get the pole)
You get a, I'll get a, we'll go (Ah)
Honey, baby, mine

[Outro]
You get a line and I'll get a pole, honey (You get the line and I get the pole)
You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe (You get the line and I get the pole)
You get a line and I'll get a pole (Ah)
We'll go down to the crawdad hole
Honey, baby, mine
