Shrimp Boats By Paul Weston and Paul Mason Howard, Jo Stafford (#2), Deloras Grey (#16) (1951)

    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 is a comin'
There's dancin' tohight.

They go to sea with the evening tide
And their women folk wave their goodbye
Ill sant vas, there they go
While the "Loosiana" moon floats on high
And they wait for the day they can cry:
  Chorus

Happy the days while they're mending the nets
'Til once more they ride high out to sea
Ill sant vas, there they go
Then how lonely the long nights will be
'Til that wonderful day when they see:
  Chorus
