I Got A Hole In My Pirogue Lyrics

Well I went out a fishin' to make a little more.

To take to Catelina so we could have some fun.

On the way back, I knocked a hole in my bow.

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



The purtiest sight that you ever have seen

Is a 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 Catelina's waitin' with tears in her eyes.

Munchin' and a crunchin' on a crawfish pie.

I smell a feeling floatin' through the air

I got a hole in my pirogue, I can't go see my Cher.



The purtiest sight that you ever have seen

Is a 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 cain't pole it home.

Catelina'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

Is a 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.
