Dead Shrimp Blues

Dead Shrimp Blues - Robert Johnson

I woke up this mornin'

And all my shrimps was dead and gone

I woke up this mornin'

All my shrimp was dead and gone

I was thinkin' about you

Baby why you hear me weep and moan

I got dead shrimps here

Someone is fishin' in my pond

I got dead shrimps here

Someone fishin' in my pond

I've served my best bait

Baby and I can't do that no harm

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

Our mouth stuck out

At the hole where I used to fish

Baby you've got me posted out

I got dead shrimps here

An' someone fishin' in my pond

I got dead shrimps here

Someone fishin' in my pond

Catchin' my goggle-eyed

Perches and they barbequin' the bone

Now you taken my shrimps

Baby you know you turned me down

I couldn't do nothin' until

I got myself unwound

You taken my shrimps

Know you turned me down

Babe I couldn't do nothin'

Until I got myself unwound
