New Dead Shrimp Blues Songtext
von Norman Greenbaum

Woke up this mornin′
All my shrimps were dead, all my shrimps were dead and gone
Woke up this mornin'
All my shrimps were dead, all my shrimps were dead and gone
And I felt so broken-hearted
My baby took my shrimps, left me alone

I′m so hungry
But my cupboard's, oh, my cupboard's now bare
I′m so hungry
But my cupboard′s now bare
The only thing I found
Was a spider and his lonely web there


What am I gonna do?
The fishin' season ended yesterday
And I packed my fishin′ pole away

Come back, baby
Bring my shrimps back, bring my shrimps back home
Come back, baby
Bring my shrimps back home
We can start all over
Just like nothin' went wrong

Come back, baby
Bring my shrimps back, bring my shrimps back home
Come back, baby
Bring my shrimps back home
We can start all over
Just like nothin′ went wrong
