1
I was born on the banks of the river grew up in a floatin' shack
2
Old Man River was my front yard we had snakes and frogs out back
3
I learned to cry to a steamboat whistle I cut my teets on a pal of a cat
4
From this big star just to make my mark
5
I had to fight like a river rat I'm nothin' but a river rat
6
Grab that net catch that fish it's all I've ever known
7
Trap that otter don't you miss I'll give him the great alone
8
With the temper of a stepped on rattler and the gall of a mean wild cat
9
Well the strong survive and just to stay alive
10
You gotta fight like a river rat I'm a meaner than a river rat
11
[ guitar ]
12
I had me a woman down the river she had eyes for me alone
13
She was here last night but like this wood with the mornin' tide she was gone
14
To the night like the great Big Muddy was runnin' wild as blind as a bat
15
My dream was sank when it went over the bank
16
It drawned all the river rats and I was runnin' like a river rat
17
Grab that net...
18
I'm nothin' but a river rat I'm a meaner than a river rat
Ich möcht' so gern Dave Dudley hör'n
