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
