The Ballad of Laverne and Captain Flint Lyrics
by Guy Clark
Intro - E F#m E F#m
Here comes Martha runnin' down the pier
Lord it looks like Captain Flint is here
You get the bow, I get the stern
Lord would you look at that Laverne
Flint's got shrimp from the deep blue sea.
and buckets of fish for you and me
E E6 (shuffle)
But Old Flint's boat is fine and she's called the Miss-Inclined
And there's no home port painted on her stern
E E6 (shuffle)
And they say she's like a ghost up and down that Texas coast
But you saw home 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 hangin' round here
