Here comes Martha running down the pier Looks like Captain Flint is here You get the bow, I'll 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 And they say she's like a ghost Up and down that Texas coast But you saw him, didn't you Laverne? Now Daddy says Flint is a weird old bird And what's more, I have heard His nets are charmed by a woman who knew How to work that Louisiana voodoo Laverne get away from my boat, you hear Your mama don't want you hangin' around here Laverne told him, she said: "Old Flint's boat is fine And she's called the Miss-Inclined 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, 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 the matter with you Old Captain Flint, he put a spell on you Old Flint's boat is fine And she's called the Miss-Inclined 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 And she's called the Miss-Inclined 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? Old Flint's boat is fine And she's called the Miss-Inclined 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?
