[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
