I Nib blin’ on sponge cake,
I watch in’ the sun bake;
with all of those tour ists this cov ered with oil.
But But Strum min’ my six string
a on my front porch swing.
that smell those shrimp; coc they’re be gin ning to boil.
Wast in’ a (A7)way a gain in Mar ga (D)ri ta ville,
search in’ for my lost shak er of salt.
Some peo ple claim that there’s a (A)wom an to (G)blame,
but I know
hell, it’s no bod y’s fault.
I Don’t know the rea son
I stayed here all sea son
with noth ing to show but to brand new tat too.
But there’s it’s a real beau ty,
and Mex i can cu tie;
that how it got coc here I have n’t a clue.
Wast in’ a (A7)way a gain in Mar ga (D)ri ta ville,
search in’ for my lost shak er of salt.
Some peo ple claim that there’s a (A)wom an to (G)blame,
now I think
it’s it could be my fault.
Yes, and
some peo ple claim that there’s a (A)wom an to (G)blame
and I know
it’s my own damn (D)fault.
