Jo Stafford - Shrimp Boats lyrics

Shrimp boats is a-comin'
Their sails are in sight
Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Look here, the shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
(Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight)

Shrimp boats is a-comin'
Their sails are in sight
Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Look here, the shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
(Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight)



They go to sea with the evening tide
And the women folk wave their goodbye
(There they go, there they go)
While the Louisiana moon floats on high
And they wait for the day they can cry

Shrimp boats is a-comin'
Their sails are in sight
Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Look here, the shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
(Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight)

Shrimp boats is a-comin'
Their sails are in sight
Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Look here, the shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
(Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight)

Shrimp boats is a-comin'
Their sails are in sight
Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Look here, the shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
(Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight)

Happy the days while they're
Mending the nets
Till once more they ride out to sea
(There they go, there they go)
Then how lonely the long nights will be
Till that wonderful day when they sing

Shrimp boats is a-comin'
Their sails are in sight
Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Look here, the shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
(Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight)

Shrimp boats is a-comin'
Their sails are in sight
Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Look here, the shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
(Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight)

Shrimp boats is a-comin'
Their sails are in sight
Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home?
Look here, the shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin', there's dancin'
There's dancin', there's dancin'
There's dancin' tonight
