The Ballad Of Laverne And Captain Flint Lyrics

Here comes Martha running 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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e119120-steve_earle~the_ballad_of_laverne_and_captain_flint_lyrics.html ]
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 voo-doo
Laverne get away from that boat you hear
Your mama don't want you hanging 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

Oh, 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

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
