SHRIMP BOATS
Words and Music by
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
SHRIMP BOATS IS A-COMIN’, THEIR SAILS ARE IN SIGHT,
SHRIMP BOATS IS A-COMIN’, THERE’S DANCIN’ TONIGHT,
WHY DON’TCHA HURRY, HURRY, HURRY HOME,
WHY DON’TCHA HURRY, HURRY, HURRY HOME?
SHRIMP BOATS IS A-COMIN’, THERE’S DANCIN’ TONIGHT,
THEY GO TO THE SEA WITH THE EVENING TIDE,
AND THEIR WOMEN FOLK WAVE THEIR GOODBYE,
ILL SANT VAS, THERE THEY GO,
WHILE THE LOOSIANA MOON FLOATS ON HIGH,
AND THEY WAIT FOR THE DAY THEY CAN CRY,
SHRIMP BOATS IS A-COMIN’, THEIR SAILS ARE IN SIGHT,
SHRIMP BOATS IS A-COMIN’, THERE’S DANCIN’ TONIGHT,
WHY DON’TCHA HURRY, HURRY, HURRY HOME,
WHY DON’TCHA HURRY, HURRY, HURRY HOME?
SHRIMP BOATS IS A-COMIN’, THERE’S DANCIN’ TONIGHT,
HAPPY THE DAYS WHILE THEY’RE MENDING THE NETS,
‘TIL ONCE MORE THEY RIDE HIGH OUT TO SEA,
ILL SANT VAS, THERE THEY GO,
THEN HOW LONELY THE LONG NIGHTS WILL BE,
‘TIL THAT WONDERFUL DAY WHEN THEY SEE:
SHRIMP BOATS IS A-COMIN’, THEIR SAILS ARE IN SIGHT,
SHRIMP BOATS IS A-COMIN’, THERE’S DANCIN’ TONIGHT,
WHY DON’TCHA HURRY, HURRY, HURRY HOME,
WHY DON’TCHA HURRY, HURRY, HURRY HOME?
SHRIMP BOATS IS A-COMIN’, THERE’S DANCIN’ TONIGHT.
