Shrimp Boats |
| Shrimp boats is a-comin' |
| Their sails are in sight |
| Shrimp boats is a-comin' |
| There’s dancin' tonight |
| Why don’t 'cha hurry hurry hurry home |
| Why don’t 'cha hurry hurry hurry home |
| Look here! |
| The shrimp boats is a-comin' |
| There’s dancin' tonight |
| (Shrimp boats is a-comin', there’s dancin' tonight) |
| (repeat chorus) |
| (slowly): |
| They go to sea with the evenin' tide |
| And the women folk wave their good-bye |
| (There they go… There they go) |
| While the Louisiana moon floats on high |
| And they wait for the day when they can cry… |
| (slowly): |
| Happy the days while they’re mending the nets |
| 'Til once more they ride out to sea |
| (There they go… There they go) |
| Then how lonely the nights will be |
| 'Til that wonderful day when they sing… |
| (Shrimp boats is a-comin' - there’s dancin' |
| There’s dancin' There’s dancin' There’s dancin' …) |
| Shrimp boats is a-comin' - there’s dancin' tonight! |
