09 Jan 99 - 03:49 PM (#53057) Subject: Shrimp boats / crabs From: Ed Borasky - znmeb@teleport.com Years ago, I heard a song called "Don't you bother waitin' for the shrimp boats, mama, sister's comin' home with the crabs." All I can remember is the ending: If the shrimp came over on the shrimp boats, mama, did the crabs come over on the captain's dinghy, Don't you bother waitin' for the shrimp boats, mama, Sister's coming home with the crabs." Can anyone supply me with the rest of this? |

I know I didn't put them there because (1) I would never use that kind of formatting; (2) I almost never copy and paste lyrics without adding proper punctuation; and (3) most importantly, I would never post lyrics without saying where I got them. I looks like those lyrics were copied from http://www.soundclick.com/bands/_music_lyrics.cfm?bandid=124772&songID=840816&keepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=530&width=530. |
