Crawdad Train

[Verse 1]
Hey, whistle man, what's that on the track?
It looks like a crawdaddy sunnin' on his back
Hey, whistle wan, why don't he run?
It looks like he's darin' this train to come
Looks like he's darin' this train to come

[Verse 2]
Blow your whistle, blow it low
Looks like he' rarin' up some more
Crawdaddy, crawdaddy you better hide
Crawdaddy opened his pinchers wide
Lord, he opened his pinchers wide

[Verse 3]
Whistle man, whistle man, sure as rain
A crawdaddy wants to fight this train
A train came a-rollin' like a shot from a gun
It knocked crawdaddy to kingdom come
It knocked crawdaddy to kingdom come

[Verse 4]
Whistle man, whistle man wasn't he brave?
A little crawdaddy tried to whoop this train
He was brave all right, brave as any man
But his judgement, Lord, wasn't worth a damn

[Verse 5]
Whistle man, whistle man, blow it low
A crawdaddy ain't in this world no more
Whistle man, whistle man, whistle man
Blow it for the crawdad in the promised land
Blow it for the crawdad in the promised land

[Outro]
*Train whistle* Blow it for the crawdad in the promised land
*Train whistle* Blow it for the crawdad in the promised land
