Guy Clark - Ballad Of Laverne And Captain Flint Songtexte

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
Old 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

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 voodoo
Laverne get away from that boat you hear
Your mama don't want you hangin' round here
Old Flint's boat is fine...

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 the matter with you old Captain Flint put a spell on you baby
Old Flint's boat is fine...
Old Flint's boat is fine...
Old Flint's boat is fine...
