Intro: E,F#m,E,F#m,E,F#m
E F#m
Here comes Martha runnin' down the pier
A D A
looks like Captain Flint is here
E F#m
You get the bow and I get the stern
A D A
Lord would you look at that Laverne
E B7
Old 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 (with a shuffle)
F# F#m7 F# F#m7 F#,F#m7 F# F#m7 F# F#m7
Old Flint's boat is fine and she's called the
F# F#m7 F# F#m7
Miss-Inclined
F# F#m7 F# F#m7 F#,F#m7,F B7 E F#m
and there's no home port painted on her stern
F# F#m7 F# F#m7 F# F#m7 F# F#m7 F# F#m7 F# F#m7 F# F#m7
and they say she's like a ghost up and down that Texas
F# F#m7 F# F#m7
coast
F# F#m7 F# F#m7 F B7 E F#m E F#m
but you saw him didn't you Laverne
Daddy says Flint is a weird old bird
and what's more I have heard
that his nets are charmed by a woman who knew
how to work that Louisiana voo-doo
Laverne get away from that boat you hear
your mama don't want you hangin' round here
Chorus
Martha, Martha won't you tell me please
that it's not Laverne that I see
there on the deck of the Miss-Inclined
with Captain Flint I must be blind
Laverne girl what's the matter with you
old Captain Flint put a spell on you
Chorus
