Charley Pride - Louisiana Man Lyrics
At first mom and papa called their little boy Ned
They raise him on the banks of the river bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree a home for my papa and my mama and me
The clock strikes three papa jumps to his feet
Already mama's cookin' papa somethin' to eat
He's got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
Headin' crops in the swamp catchin' everythin' he can
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man
Muskart hides a hangin' by the dozen even got a lady make a muskart's cousin
Pile of hide drying in the hot hot sun tomorrow papa's gonna turn them into mon
Well they call mama Rita and my daddy Jack
A little baby brother on the floor that's Mac
Riz and Liz are the family twins big brother Ed's on the bayou fishin'
He takes every bit of the night and day
Then ever reach the place where the people stay
I can hardly wait till tomorrow comes around
That's the day my papa takes his fure to town
Papa promised me that I could go even let me see a cowboy show
I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then I told my papa gotta go again
Papa said son we got the lines to run we'll come back again there's work to be done
He's got fishin' lines...

Charley Pride Louisiana Man Comments
I like old school country so much better. Love Charly Pride.
At first mom and papa called their little boy Ned
They raise him on the banks of the river bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree
a home for my papa and my mama and me
The clock strikes three papa jumps to his feet
Already mama's cookin' papa somethin' to eat
At half past papa he's ready to go
he jumps in his piro headed down the bayou
He's got fishin' lines strung
across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
Headin' crops in the swamp
catchin' everythin' he can
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man
gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man
Muskart hides a hangin' by the dozen
even got a lady make a muskart's cousin
Pile of hide drying in the hot hot sun
tomorrow papa's gonna turn them into mon

Well they call mama Rita and my daddy Jack
A little baby brother on the floor that's Mac
Riz and Liz are the family twins
big brother Ed's on the bayou fishin'
On the river float papa's great big boat
that's how my papa goes into town
He takes every bit of the night and day
Then ever reach the place where the people stay
I can hardly wait till tomorrow comes around
That's the day my papa takes his fure to town
Papa promised me that I could go
even let me see a cowboy show
I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time
then I told my papa gotta go again
Papa said son we got the lines to run
come back again but the work to be done
He's got fishin' lines strung
across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
Headin' crops in the swamp
catchin' everythin' he can
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man
gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.....
I also grew up on Charlie Pride. Still remember my dad crackin up telling me about BUSTED. He loved that song, but we loved all his songs.
Songs from Charlie i never herd before ;;Aussie 2019,,Great 1.
I don't remember this. As a Louisiana boy myself, Im sure Doug Kershaw didn't mind Charley recording this autobiographical song about growing up on the bayou, as my mother did.
Ohhhh he the best to me love him
I love this song and love Charlie Pride😊🍻🍺🍺🍺🍺
Charley is still making great music, sounds as good as he ever did. But the country music moguls don't want a part of his kind of sound. They think Taylor Swift is "country" music people should be listen to.
I grew up on his music and other country artist classic
Still get goosebumps
Fantastic music Charlie love it
the greatest entertainer ever I have seen him about 5 times in concert every time it was great.
I've loved this man and his music since I was 10. been listening 44 yrs. saw him once in concert the best concert ever.
i love this song.......how could u not so catchy
Charley is a best country singer ever had i like his Country songs
Love Charley Pride! This song makes me smile and dance every time I hear it! Thank you, Charley! God bless!
I'm a racist hillbilly fuck but it wasn't me! :-)
probably a racist hillbilly fuck ^^
Who "disliked" this? Satan?
Looks like six idiots.....
Satan and his disciples obviously
Great voice, nice country style, but... too smooth.
Charley does this tune very very well..
rusty and doug did this one the cajun way!
I love Charlie Pride but this particular song should never be sung by anyone other than Rusty and Doug Kershaw. Theirs is THE definitive version nobody else can even come close.
it just doesn't get any better than this. what a voice
@redhairedoy
It's the late, great Gene O'Neal.
Pride lousiana, my hometown, so many memiorys woooooo
Check out those drums at 0:58!!!!! Sweet.
What a voice! what a band! what a song!
Pure authentic country music
