Robert Johnson lyrics

Dead Shrimp Blues blues lyrics

I woke up this morning-nnn, and all my shrimps was dead and gone.
I woke up this mornin', ooh, all my shrimps was dead and gone.
I was thinkin' about you, baby, why you hear me weep and moan.
I got dead shrimps here, someone fishin' in my pond.
I got dead shrimps here, ooo, someone fishin' in my pond.
I've served my best bait, baby, and I can't do that no harm.
BRIDGE: Everything I do, babe, you got your mouth stuck out.
Hole where I used to fish, you got me posted out.
Everything I do, you got your mouth stuck out.
At the hole where I used to fish, baby, you got me posted out.
I got dead shrimps here, 'n' someone fishin' in my pond.
I got dead shrimps here, someone fishin' in my pond.
Catchin' my goggle-out perches, and they barbecuin' the bone.
BRIDGE: Now take my shrimp, baby, you know you turned me down.
I couldn't do nothin' until I got myself unwound.
You taken my shrimp, ooh, know you turned me down.
Babe, I couldn't do nothin' until I got myself unwound.
