Crawdad Song is a popular Southern folksong. It is a song that was written to accompany a ‘play party’. During the first hundred years of US history, many cities and towns permitted play parties as an acceptable social event. Play party songs are usually simple melodies, with improvised words in response to the experiences of courting, living, and working. Children’s school yard jump rope rhymes are an example of a modern day play party.

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 fishin’ in the crawdad hole,
Honey, Baby mine.
Sittin’ on the bank ’til my feet get cold, Honey,
Sittin’ on the bank ’til my feet get cold, Babe,
Sittin’ on the bank ’til my feet get cold,
Lookin’ down that crawdad hole,
Honey, Baby mine.
