Dead Shrimp Blues

Robert Johnson

I woke up this mornin' and all my shrimps 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'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,

everything I do, you got your mouth stuck 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,

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.

You taken my shrimps, know you turned me down,

babe, I couldn't do nothin', until I got myself unwound.
