Intro - E  F#m  E  F#m

E                         F#m          
Here comes Martha runnin' down the pier
             A             D        A
Lord it looks like Captain Flint is here
E                 F#m 
You get the bow,  I get the stern
A                       D    A
Lord would you look at that Laverne
E                            B7
Flint's got shrimp from the deep blue sea.
    A                   E           F#m  E  F#m
and buckets of fish for you and me


Chorus

 E   E6  (shuffle)
But Old Flint's boat is fine and she's called the Miss-Inclined
                         B7              E   F#m
And there's no home port painted on her stern
 E  E6  (shuffle) 
And they say she's like a ghost up and down that Texas coast
                   B7             E  F#m  E  F#m
But you saw home didn't you Laverne?


E                     F#m
Daddy says Flint is a weird old bird
    A           D       A
And what's more I have heard
         E                      F#m
That his nets are charmed by a woman who knew
        A              D        A
How to work that Louisiana voo-doo
E                          B7
Laverne get away from that boat you hear
     A                    E             F#m  E  F#m      
your mama don't want you hangin' round here
