The Ballad Of Laverne And Captain Flint

Lyrics

Here comes Martha runnin' down the pier
 Looks like Captain Flint is here
 You get the bow and I get the stern
 Lord would you look at that Laverne
 Flint's got shrimp from the deep blue sea
 And buckets of fish for you and me
 Old Flint's boat is fine and she's called the Miss-Inclined
 And there's no home port painted on her stern
 They say she's like a ghost, up and down that Texas coast
 But you saw him didn't you Laverne?
 Daddy says Flint is a weird old bird
 And what's more I have heard
 That his nets are charmed by a woman who knew
 How to work that Louisiana voo-doo
 Laverne get away from that boat you hear
 Your mama don't want you hangin' round here
 Old Flint's boat is fine and she's called the Miss-Inclined
 And there's no home port painted on her stern
 And they say she's like a ghost, up and down that Texas coast
 But you saw him didn't you Laverne?
 Martha, Martha won't you tell me please
 That it's not Laverne that I see
 There on the deck of the Miss-Inclined
 With Captain Flint I must be blind
 Laverne girl what's got the matter with you?
 Old Captain Flint put a spell on you babe
 Old Flint's boat is fine, but she's called the Miss-Inclined
 And there's no home port painted on her stern
 And they say she's like a ghost, up and down that Texas coast
 But you saw him didn't you Laverne?
 Old Flint's boat is fine, but she's called the Miss-Inclined
 And there's no home port painted on her stern
 And they say she's like a ghost, up and down that Texas coast
 But you saw him didn't you Laverne?
 Old Flint's boat is fine, but she's called the Miss-Inclined
 And there's no home port painted on her stern
 And they say she's like a ghost, up and down that Texas coast
 But you saw him didn't you Laverne?
