- I woked up this mornin'
And all my shrimps was dead and gone.
I woked up this mornin',
Ooh, all my shrimp was dead and gone.
I was thinkin' about you, baby,
While you hear me weep and moan.
I got dead shrimps here,
Someone is fishin' in my pond.
I got dead shrimps here, ooh,
Someone fishin' in my pond.
I've served my best bait, baby,
And I can't do that no harm.
Everything I do, baby,
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 taken my shrimps, baby,
You know you turned me down.
I couldn't do nothin',
Until I got myself unwound.
You taken my shrimps, oohh,
Know you turned me down.
Baby, I couldn't do nothin',
Until I got myself unwound.
