I Got a Hole In My Pirogue

I Got a Hole In My Pirogue - Johnny Horton

Well I went outta fishin' to make a little mon

To take to Cajun Leena so we could have some fun

On the way back I knocked a hole in my bowl

I got a hole in my pirogue I can't go see my gal

The purtiest sight that you ever have seen

Some moonlight night down in New Orleans

I'm up the river just around the bend

I got a hole in my pirogue I just cain't hold it in

Well Cajun Leena's waitin' with tears in her eyes

Mouchin' and a crouchin' on a crawfish pie

I can't smell no feeling floatin' through the air

I got a hole in my pirogue I can't go see my share

The purtiest sight that you ever have seen

Some moonlight night down in New Orleans

I'm up the river just around the bend

I got a hole in my pirogue I just cain't hold it in

Yeah I'm here on the bayou sittin' all alone

With a busted bottom and I can't pole it home

Cajun Leena's waitin' lonesome as can be

I got a hole in my pirogue I cain't go see my she

The purtiest sight that you ever have seen

Some moonlight night down in New Orleans

I'm up the river just around the bend

I got a hole in my pirogue I just cain't hold it in
