You get a line and I'll get a pole, honey. You get line and I'll get a pole babe. You get a line and I'll get a pole and we'll go down to the crawdad hole, honey, sugar baby mine.

What you gonna do when the lake goes dry, Honey?
What you gonna do when the lake goes dry, Babey?
What you gonna do when the lake goes dry?
Sit on the bank and watch the Crawdads die,
Honey. Sugar-baby mine.

What you gonna do when the crawdads die, honey?
What you gonna do when the crawdads die, babe?
What you gonna do when the crawdads die?
Sit on the bank until I cry,
Honey, sugar-baby mine.
