townes van zandt – shrimp song (r. bennett & s. tepper) lyrics
(words & music by bennett – tepper)
i saw three shrimp in the water, two were old and gray
i swam a little bit closer and . i heard the third one say
goodbye mama shrimp, papa shake my hand
here come the shrimper for to take me to louisian’
here come the shrimper for to take me to louisian’
he showed his mama and papa, the shrimp newspaper he read
an invitation to all the shrimp and this is what it said
free ride, new orleans, stay in grand hotel
big creole gal who help you come out of your sh-ll
big creole gal who help you come out of your sh-ll
if i should live to be ninety, i will never forget
the little shrimp and the song he sang as he jumped into the net
goodbye mama shrimp, papa shake my hand
here come the shrimper for to take me to louisian’
here come the shrimper for to take me to louisian’
here come the shrimper for to take me to louisian’
here come the shrimper for to take me to louisian’
here come the shrimper for to take me to louisian’
