I woke up this mornin' and all my shrimps was dead and 
gone 
I woke up this mornin', ooh, and 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, ooh, 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 
at the hole where I used to fish, baby, you've got me 
posted out 
I got dead shrimps here, 'n' someone fishin' in my pond 
I got dead shrimps here, someone fishin' in my pond 
Catchin' my goggle-eye 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
