Here comes Martha runnin' down the pier   looks like Captain Flint is here   You get the bow and I get the stern   Lord would you look at that Laverne   Old Flint's got shrimp from the deep blue sea   and buckets of fish for you and me      Chorus   Old Flint's boat is fine and she's called the Miss-Inclined   and there's no home port painted on her stern   and they say she's like a ghost up and down that Texas coast   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
