Big Bill Broonzy

Big Bill Broonzy (June 26, 1903 – August 15, 1958) was a prolific American blues singer, songwriter and guitarist. His career began in the 1920s when he played country blues to mostly black audiences. Through the ‘30s and ‘40s he successfully navigated a transition in style to a more urban blues sound popular with working class Black audiences. In the 1950s a return to his traditional folk-blues roots made him one of the leading figures of the emerging American folk music revival and an international star. His long and varied career marks him as one of the key figures in the development of blues music in the 20th century. more »

You get a line and I'll get a pole 
Now 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

Yonder come a man with a sack on his back 
Now honey
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back
Oh babe
Yonder come a man with a sack on his back
He's got him all the crawdads he can pack
Honey, baby, mine

Man fell down and he broke that sack
Honey
Man fell down and he broke that sack
Oh babe
Man fell down and he broke that sack
You'd better see them crawdads goin' back
Honey, baby, mine

What you gonna do when the pond goes dry
Now honey
What you gonna do when the pond goes dry
Oh babe
What you gonna do when the pond goes dry
I'm gonna stand on the bank 
And watch the crawdads die
Honey, baby, mine

Sat on the pond 'til my feet got cold
Now honey
Sat on the pond 'til my feet got cold
Babe
Sat on the pond 'til my feet got cold
I was lookin' right down that crawdad's hole
Honey, baby, mine
