OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
4 ladies chain you turn with your girl - You chain your lady right back home - Join hands and circle to the left around the river - Left allemande and you weave the ring
Fishin' line strung across the Louisiana river
Swing your girl and promenade along
There's traps in the swamp catchin' anything I can
I gotta make a livin' I'm a Louisiania man

TAG I gotta make a livin' I'm a Lousiania man
I gotta make a livin' I'm a Lousiania man
I gotta make a livin' I'm a Lousiania man

FIGURE
Heads promenade halfway - Down the middle and square thru - You get 4 hands around the ring you do - Go all the way and do a right & left thru
Veer to the left and the couples circulate - You 1/2 tag, follow your neighbor and spread - Swing the corner girl and promenade the ring
There's traps in the swamp catchin' anything I can
I gotta make a livin' I'm a Lousiania man
