Red Moore - Crawdad Song

CRAWDAD HOLE / THE CRAWDAD SONG
(Traditional - Arr. Red Moore)
RED MOORE (RED 840, 1959)

Well, 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, oh baby of mine

Whatcha gonna do when the creek runs dry, honey
Whatcha gonna do when the creek runs dry, babe
Whatcha gonna do when the creek runs dry
Sit on the banks and watch the cawdads die
Honey, oh baby of mine
(Let's go!)

Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, honey
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back, babe
Yonder comes a man with a sack on his back
He's got more crawdads than he can pack
Honey, oh baby of mine
(Let it go!)

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, oh baby of mine

Version plus récente du morceau trad plus ancien ... LOL

Andy Griffith, qu'on peut voir avec Elvis au Steve Allen show en 1956 et qui interprète Lonesome Rhodes dans "Un homme dans la foule" (A face in the crowd) d'Elia Kazan :

Et même Harry "Mr Calypso" Belafonte s'y est mis :

 Very "WHAT D I SAY" ... C est quelle année ?
