Got A Hole In Your Pirogue?
Pirogues were so popular that in 1953 Johnny Horton wrote the lyrics and recorded “I Got A Hole In My Pirogue.”
It’s okay, sing along!
Well I went out a fishin’ to make a little mon. ♪
To take to Cajulina 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.
