guy clark - the ballad of laverne and captain flint (heartworn highways) lyrics

[verse 1]
here come martha running down the pier
well it looks like captain flint is here
you get the bow, 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
alright

[chorus]
but 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, aw didn’t you, laverne?

[verse 2]
daddy says flint is a weird old bird
and what’s more i have heard
that her 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 hanging ’round here

[chorus]
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, aw didn’t you, laverne?
[verse 3]
martha, martha, won’t you tell me please
that it is not laverne that i see?
there on the deck of the miss+inclined
with captain flint, i must be blind
laverne, girl, what’s got the matter with you?
old captain flint he put a spell on you

[chorus]
but old flint’s boat is fine and she’s called the miss+inclined
there’s no home port painted on her stern
they say she’s like a ghost up and down that texas coast
but you saw him, aw didn’t you, laverne?

old flint’s boat is fine, but she’s called the miss+inclined
and there’s no home port painted on her stern
they say she’s like a ghost up and down that texas coast
but you saw him, aw didn’t you, laverne?
you got this one rog
