DEAD SHRIMP BLUES

I woke up this mornin'-nnn
        and all my shrimps was dead and gone
I woke up this mornin', ooh
        all my shrimps was dead and gone
I was thinkin' about you, baby
        why you hear me weep and moan
I got dead shrimps here
        someone is fishin' in my pond
I got dead shrimps he'-ooh
        someone fishin' in my pond
I've served my best bait, baby
        and I can't do that no harm
Keverything I do, babe, you got your mouth stuck out
Hole where I used to fish, you got me posted out
Everything I do
        you got your mouth stuck out
At the hole where I used to fish, baby
        you've got me posted out
I got dead shrimps here, 'n'
        someone fishin' in my pond
I got dead shrimps here
        someone fishin' in my pond
Catchin' my goggle-eye perches
        and they barbecuin' the bone
Now you take my shrimp, baby
        you know you turned me down
I couldn't do nothin' until I got myself unwound
You taken my shrimp
        ohh, know you turned me down
Babe, I couldn't do nothin'
        until I got myself unwound
